The 2023 Indian Chieftain Elite is a 175-unit limited edition — a Super Graphite Smoke paint scheme with Shadow Bronze accents over the air-cooled Thunder Stroke 116, with the usual Chieftain frame-mounted fairing and its 7-inch Ride Command touchscreen. The premium trim doesn't change the infotainment: factory Apple CarPlay is wired-only, and there's no Android Auto. HogPlay's USB-C bypass adaptor makes CarPlay wireless, and a Media Box or Piglet adds Android Auto and streaming apps through the factory USB — reversible and dealer-free.
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.
