2025 Indian Sport Chief
Android Auto, CarPlay & Streaming Apps for 2025 Indian Sport Chief
| Factory code | 56K·DSDB |
|---|---|
| Engine | Thunder Stroke 116 — air-cooled V-twin |
| Factory head unit | No factory options — HogPlay Screen recommended |
| Factory USB location | None |
| Fairing Style | Quarter fairing — flat-track sport styling, no head unit behind it |
By 2025 the Sport Chief has settled into Indian's cruiser lineup with a broader palette — Cascade Green Metallic and Ghost White Metallic Smoke join the Black Smoke and Maroon Metallic carryover finishes — but the cockpit story hasn't changed: the quarter fairing still shelters a single round gauge, not a touchscreen. A HogPlay 7-inch CarPlay and Android Auto screen fills that gap, adding navigation, calls and streaming through built-in speakers so you're not chasing a separate amp. It mounts and unmounts without touching the bike's wiring.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2025 Indian Sport 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.)

Three model years in, the 2025 Sport Chief carries the same Thunder Stroke 116 V-twin and quarter-fairing, moto-bar silhouette that defined its 2023 launch, now available in Black Smoke, Cascade Green Metallic, Ghost White Metallic Smoke and Maroon Metallic. Indian still hasn't put a touchscreen behind that fairing, and the bike has no factory USB port — riders get an under-seat accessory outlet instead. HogPlay's 7-inch CarPlay and Android Auto screen, with its own built-in speakers, gives the Sport Chief cockpit real navigation and streaming, powered off that same under-seat outlet and fully reversible.
