By its second model year the 2021 Indian Challenger Limited had settled into Indian's own naming convention for the trim — paint codes now carry the 'Limited' prefix (Limited Deepwater Metallic, Limited Ruby Metallic, Limited Thunder Black Pearl), plus a plain Thunder Black Pearl option. Nothing changed on the electronics side: the fairing still houses a 7-inch Ride Command touchscreen that runs Apple CarPlay from the factory over a wired USB connection only, with no Android Auto. HogPlay's USB-C bypass adaptor severs that cable, and a Media Box or Piglet adds Android Auto and streaming apps to the liquid-cooled PowerPlus 108 underneath.
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.

The 2021 Indian Challenger Limited carries over the same liquid-cooled PowerPlus 108 and frame-mounted fairing as the launch-year bike, now offered in a Limited-specific color set — Limited Deepwater Metallic, Limited Ruby Metallic, Limited Thunder Black Pearl, and an unprefixed Thunder Black Pearl. The infotainment hasn't moved: a 7-inch Ride Command touchscreen mounted in the fairing, covered in depth on the Indian Ride Command radio page (/pages/indian-ride-command-radio). Factory Apple CarPlay works, but only tethered to USB, and Android Auto isn't offered at all. HogPlay's USB-C wireless bypass adaptor frees CarPlay from the cable, while a Media Box or Piglet adds Android Auto and streaming — plugged into the factory USB port, fully reversible.
