Using Apple CarPlay® on RIDE COMMAND

Apple CarPlay® can be used on 2020 and newer Indian Motorcycle Chieftain, Pursuit, Roadmaster and Challenger models equipped with the 7" Display Powered by RIDE COMMAND. This allows riders to access their iPhone® through the familiar interface.

To use Apple CarPlay®, riders must operate software from the April 2021 RIDE COMMAND software update or newer. More on that procedure can be found in Updating Maps and Software on the 2020+ 7" Display Powered by RIDE COMMAND. If you need help with the download process, visit your Indian Motorcycle Dealer. To find a dealer near you, use the Dealer Locator.

To be compatible with Apple CarPlay®, your Indian Motorcycle must be a model year 2020 or newer bike equipped with RIDE COMMAND, as well as navigation. Models without navigation will need to add the accessory RIDE COMMAND+ navigation package (part number 2884468) to enable Apple CarPlay®.

Note: Apple CarPlay® is not available on models older than model year 2020 or vehicles with the 4” Display, 4.3” Display or 2017-2019 7” Display powered by RIDE COMMAND.

Your phone must be plugged into the bike with an iPhone®-compatible USB cable. The requirements are an iPhone® 5s or later, iOS® version 12 or above and a headset. A Bluetooth®-paired headset is required to use Apple CarPlay®. View the list of supported headsets for compatibility. Other Bluetooth® headsets and earbuds may work with RIDE COMMAND but have not been tested. Therefore support cannot be offered for them. 

To listen to music through your headset, toggle the switch shown below on your display. Toggle this switch again to listen to your music through the bike's speakers.

Troubleshooting Connection Issues
If Apple CarPlay® will not engage, try the following solutions.

  • Ensure that your vehicle's navigation package is active. If you press the Navigation hard button beneath the display and the screen shows “Only Get Lost When You Choose To,” the vehicle does not have navigation. See your Indian Motorcycle Dealer for upgrade options. 
  • Check for RIDE COMMAND and iPhone® software updates.
  • Check cable integrity to ensure there is no damage to the cable. Counterfeit cables may be less effective and wear more quickly, so be sure to use a certified MFi cable.
  • Open settings on the display to the screen regarding Apple CarPlay® and try to connect again.
  • If none of the above solutions work, redownload the latest RIDE COMMAND maps update and install it on the vehicle. Information about that procedure can be found in Updating Software and Maps on the 2020+ 7" Display Powered by RIDE COMMAND
  • For additional assistance, see your Dealer
