Want wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on a 2022 Indian Challenger? Yes — and the fix starts with what's already on the bike. Indian widened the color sheet considerably for 2022, from Storm Blue/Black Metallic to Indy Red Black Metallic, but every Challenger still carries the same fairing-mounted 7-inch Ride Command touchscreen and liquid-cooled PowerPlus 108. Ride Command runs Apple CarPlay wired-only from the factory, with no Android Auto at all. A HogPlay USB-C bypass adaptor unlocks wireless CarPlay, and a Media Box or Piglet adds Android Auto and streaming apps through the factory USB port — no dealer, nothing to cut.
