Meet the 2026 Indian Scout, the standard-bearer of the reborn Scout lineup and the bike that set the template for every variant that followed it. Its teardrop tank, mid-mount controls, and low 27-inch seat height give it the balanced, do-it-all cruiser feel Scout owners have chased for a century, now backed by the liquid-cooled SpeedPlus 1250 V-Twin. What the Scout doesn't have is a factory touchscreen; the gauge cluster stays classic and analog by design. That's where the HogPlay Media Screen comes in, mounting to the handlebar and running off power and ground to add wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto that Indian never built in.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2026 Indian Scout 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.)

The 2026 Scout's clean, minimalist cockpit is exactly why the HogPlay Media Screen fits so naturally: there's no factory unit to compete with, just open bar space ready for a 7-inch display.
The mount clamps to the handlebar, taps into power and ground, and reverses easily if you ever want the bars bare again. No dash cutting, no dealer-only wiring harness, no permanent modification to the Scout's stock look.
