By 2022 the Indian Chief lineup expanded, and the base Chief kept its stripped-roadster formula: a single round gauge, blacked-out or painted trim in colors like Black Metallic and White Smoke, and the Thunder Stroke 111 V-twin under the tank. Indian still didn't put a touchscreen on it, so there's no wired CarPlay to bypass — HogPlay instead adds a 7-inch CarPlay and Android Auto screen with built-in speakers, mounted where it's easy to see and easy to remove. Power comes from a simple USB feed, and the whole kit unbolts if you ever sell the bike back to stock trim.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2022 Indian Chief 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 2022 Indian Chief sits at the entry point of a now-larger Chief family that also includes Dark Horse and Bobber Dark Horse trims — but the base bike keeps things simple: cast wheels, a low stance, and no factory infotainment of any kind. That simplicity is exactly why HogPlay built a purpose-made 7-inch CarPlay and Android Auto screen for it. Instead of chasing a factory radio bypass that doesn't exist on this bike, the screen bolts straight in, brings its own speaker pair, and gives the rider modern phone mirroring without disturbing the Chief's stripped-down look.
