Early 2026 Chieftain Limited listings show Sunset Red Metallic as a launch color, with the rest of the palette still filling in — but the mechanical story carries over from recent years: the chrome-trimmed fairing houses the same 7-inch Ride Command touchscreen over the air-cooled Thunder Stroke 116. That screen already runs Apple CarPlay from the factory, but only over a USB cable, with no Android Auto at all. A HogPlay USB-C bypass adaptor makes CarPlay wireless, and a HogPlay Media Box or Piglet adds Android Auto and your streaming apps — all through the factory harness, 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.

The 2026 Chieftain Limited continues Indian's chrome-trimmed hard-bagger — a frame-mounted fairing over hard saddlebags and the Thunder Stroke 116 V-twin, with the 7-inch Ride Command touchscreen as standard equipment. Color information is still emerging for the model year; Sunset Red Metallic is confirmed so far, with more finishes typically following as the lineup fills out. Ride Command's factory Apple CarPlay runs wired-only, and Indian still hasn't added factory Android Auto. HogPlay's USB-C wireless bypass adaptor unlocks wireless CarPlay, and a Media Box or Piglet adds Android Auto and streaming — see the Indian Ride Command radio page (/pages/indian-ride-command-radio) for the full kit. Everything plugs into the factory USB and harness, nothing cut or spliced.
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.
