For 2026 the Challenger steps up to the larger PowerPlus 112 V-twin, joined by a 125th Anniversary Red with Black Crystal Fade edition and an expanded set of Dark Horse-with-112 finishes. What hasn't changed is the fairing-mounted 7-inch Ride Command touchscreen, which still runs Apple CarPlay wired-only from the factory with no Android Auto in the package. A HogPlay USB-C bypass adaptor makes that CarPlay wireless, and a Media Box or Piglet adds Android Auto and streaming apps, connecting through the factory USB port — no dealer visit, nothing to cut.
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.

The 2026 model year brings the biggest mechanical change the Challenger has seen since launch — the PowerPlus 108 gives way to the PowerPlus 112 — alongside a limited 125th Anniversary Red with Black Crystal Fade edition and a run of Dark Horse-with-112 finishes, including a Black Crystal build with Championship Gold accents. Even with the bigger engine, the fairing-mounted 7-inch Ride Command touchscreen carries over unchanged, and it still runs Apple CarPlay wired-only from the factory — Android Auto has never been part of the package. HogPlay's USB-C bypass adaptor unlocks wireless CarPlay, and a Media Box or Piglet adds Android Auto plus streaming apps, all through the factory USB port — plug-and-play and fully reversible.
HogPlay Media Boxes work on Diamond Audio, Boss Audio, Rockford Fosgate, SoundStream and Aquatic AV aftermarket radios to unlock apps, streaming and more — it's not just for factory screens. Running an aftermarket head unit? See the matching aftermarket radio pages.
