The 2020 Indian Scout opens the decade with the same clean, analog-dial cockpit that defines the whole Scout family — no touchscreen, no navigation, and the bike's only USB feed tucked under the seat as an accessory port rather than a dash connector. That year's colors leaned heavily on the ABS-equipped lineup, from ABS Thunder Black to ABS Indian Sky Blue/Pearl White and ABS Metallic Jade/Thunder Black. A HogPlay 7-inch CarPlay and Android Auto screen mounts at the handlebars and taps that under-seat accessory port for power, so maps, calls and streaming apps arrive without cutting a single wire.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2020 Indian Scout left the factory with no radio, stereo or touchscreen to bypass — so instead of a workaround, you add your own. A standalone HogPlay Media Screen is a 7-inch head unit with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, live Maps & Waze navigation, calls and streaming built in — we recommend the Screen 7 Pro with its onboard DVR drive-cam. Most riders settle for Bluetooth-only kits that leave the phone in your pocket with no turn-by-turn directions; this puts it all on the bars instead. It mounts to the handlebars with basic power and ground and comes off just as easily, so reach out to the HogPlay team if you'd like a hand. (Media Box support on Screens is in development.)

Every 2020 Indian Scout shares the same factory setup: a simple analog-style gauge with zero built-in infotainment and no dash-mounted USB — the bike's only USB access is an accessory port under the seat, not something meant to feed a screen on its own. Indian offered the year in a run of ABS trims — ABS Deepwater Metallic, ABS Dirt Track Smoke/Thunder Black, ABS Indian Motorcycle Red/Ivory Cream, ABS Sky Blue/Pearl White, ABS Ruby Metallic/Pearl White, ABS Thunder Black and ABS White Smoke among them — all riding on the same liquid-cooled Scout V-twin. Because there's no factory screen to unlock, HogPlay's fix is an add-on: a 7-inch CarPlay and Android Auto screen with its own built-in speakers, wired to draw power from that under-seat accessory port. It clamps on at the bars, brings wireless CarPlay, Android Auto and streaming to a bike that never had them, and comes off just as cleanly.
