Color is where the 2021 Indian Scout moves the needle — Thunder Black and Maroon Metallic/Crimson Metallic join a shorter ABS list that includes ABS Arizona Turquoise/Pearl White, ABS Blue Slate Metallic/Cobra Silver and ABS Stealth Gray/Thunder Black — while the cockpit itself stays exactly as simple as before: an analog-style dial with no touchscreen and no dash USB, just an accessory port tucked under the seat. HogPlay closes that gap the same way across the Scout line: a 7-inch CarPlay and Android Auto screen with built-in speakers, drawing power from that under-seat port and mounting cleanly at the handlebars for wireless maps, calls and streaming.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2021 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.)

The 2021 Indian Scout keeps the same no-screen factory layout as the year before it — a clean analog gauge, no built-in navigation, and a USB feed that lives as an under-seat accessory port rather than anything wired to a dash. What changes is the palette: alongside plain Thunder Black and Maroon Metallic/Crimson Metallic, Indian ran a shorter ABS list — ABS Arizona Turquoise/Pearl White, ABS Blue Slate Metallic/Cobra Silver, ABS Deepwater Metallic, ABS Maroon Metallic/Crimson Metallic, ABS Stealth Gray/Thunder Black and ABS White Smoke. None of those trims add a touchscreen, so the fitment is identical across the board — a HogPlay 7-inch CarPlay and Android Auto screen with its own built-in speakers, powered from the bike's under-seat accessory port, bolts on at the bars and brings wireless CarPlay, Android Auto and streaming to a Scout that shipped without any of it.
