2023 Indian FTR: Ride Command Air vs Real CarPlay

The 2023 Indian FTR's optional Ride Command Air gauge shows turn-by-turn and call alerts over Bluetooth, but it stops well short of running actual CarPlay or Android Auto apps — riders who want the real thing usually add a HogPlay Media Screen alongside the stock dash, and the 2023 FTR model page has the exact mounting specs.

About 2023 Indian FTR Models

Ride Command Air is a clever piece of kit — it mirrors notifications and turn directions from a paired phone onto the FTR's small round display — but it isn't a CarPlay or Android Auto screen the way a Springfield or Chieftain's Ride Command unit is. There's no app grid, no Maps or Spotify running natively, just Bluetooth-relayed alerts. For riders who actually want CarPlay or Android Auto on the bike, that gauge isn't something to bypass; it's something to build around.

A HogPlay Media Screen mounts alongside the factory display on the FTR's compact bar setup and handles full wireless CarPlay and Android Auto independently, without touching the stock wiring. Check the 2023 FTR page for the handlebar clamp diameter on your specific trim before ordering, since FTR bar setups vary between flat-track and street configurations. Riders who'd rather skip a second screen entirely can pair a compact USB piglet adaptor with their existing phone mount instead.
