The 2020 Indian Chieftain rolled out with one of the broadest color lineups the bagger has seen — from a two-tone Deep Water Metallic and Dirt Track Tan to a two-tone Willow Green and Ivory Cream, alongside solid Thunder Black and Titanium Smoke. Every one of those bikes carries the same 7-inch Ride Command touchscreen up front, and factory Apple CarPlay already works on it — but only tethered to a cable, with no Android Auto at all. A HogPlay USB-C bypass adaptor cuts that cord so CarPlay runs wirelessly, and a Media Box or Piglet layers in Android Auto plus your streaming apps. It plugs into the factory USB port on the Thunder Stroke 111 and reverses cleanly.
USB-C Bypass Required
The factory 7" Ride Command runs Apple CarPlay by USB cable only — no wireless, and no Android Auto. A HogPlay USB-C bypass makes CarPlay wireless, then a Media Box or Piglet adds Android Auto and streaming apps.

Indian's Chieftain is the original hard-bagger in the modern lineup — a frame-mounted fairing, hard saddlebags, and the air-cooled Thunder Stroke 111 V-twin. The 2020 model year offered the widest color spread of any single Chieftain year covered here, including two-tone paint like Burnished Metallic over Sandstone Metallic and Thunder Black Vivid Crystal over Wildfire Red Candy, alongside solid Thunder Black and Titanium Smoke. Every 2020 Chieftain carries the fairing-mounted 7-inch Ride Command display, and factory Apple CarPlay is functional out of the box — just wired, with Android Auto absent entirely. HogPlay's make-matched kit swaps that in for wireless: a USB-C bypass adaptor unlocks the screen, then a Media Box or Piglet adds Android Auto and streaming, all through the factory USB connection and fully reversible.
