2021 Indian Challenger Base Apple CarPlay without Nav Upgrade

[@SpringHillDad]

BROTHER! You just made my damn year! I have been pulling my hair out trying to get this to work on my base model and your video was PERFECT! Thank you so much. Ride safe!

[@SquirrelAction]

Glad I could help. 🙌🏻

So first let me say thank you for this video because I couldn’t figure out how to get my apple car play to work on my 23 Chieftain base and ur video made it simple and quick. Now my only problem is how do I get sound to play through my bike speakers and not my BT headset? If u can assist me with this please sir it would be greatly appreciated….

Still not working, for my 2021 challenger not paying for the Indiana thing..?

[@brf8166]

I have the base model without the modem, and this method does work IF you download the firmware file that ends in “10A”

Where can I find that update I only have November 2023 43A

[@kellysharp9569]

We have been struggling with both the dealer and Polaris Ride Command Customer Service. I have in writing from them that we cannot use car play UNLESS we purchase the $500 cell modem (we did get a discount so didn't pay that much). The whole thing did not make sense to me because Car play should have nothing to do with their navigation software; and I told them this many times. Seeing your video now really pisses me off because we were made to believe we must have that for the Car play and spent alot of money maybe unnecessarily. Please confirm that you absolutely did not have the cell modem installed on your bike. It is my understanding that some base models....depending on the dealer....may or may not have the cell modem automatically installed even on the base models. Thanks!

[@SquirrelAction]

I can guarantee you that I do not have the cellular modem.

Is this still working after the latest update? Mine wont switch over to carplay once the bike is on.

[@errieevangelista8793]

I have the latest software update 43A(last 3 digits) and I’m not getting anything on my base model. Please shine some light as to why? Oh and I have a iPhone 15pro max. Not sure if due to the type c vs. lightning might have anything to do with it?

[@ronnyser2002]

Thank you.. this worked

[@SquirrelAction]

Glad it helped

[@slaytanic921]

I just learned that ride command is subscription based, bummer

[@matrix4you2see]

So correct me if I'm wrong your have Apple Car Play WITHOUT OTTOCAST...? Have you tried to see if it would work with Android Auto..?

[@SquirrelAction]

Android auto will only work with Ottocast U2 X Pro. I’ve recently added the Ottocast and have been using it with my iPhone 14 Pro. But it is very finicky on the turn on process. Must have the Bluetooth headset (Cardo Packtalk) turned on beforehand, then turn on bike. Then wait 20-30 seconds and the Ottocast will finish booting up and connect to iPhone. Make sure you don’t have any other devices or phone connected to the RC. (Only the headset). I’m not an android user or else I’d try the android auto.

[@matrix4you2see]

@SquirrelAction the crazy part is that I use the OTTOCAST now on my base challenger but it needs to be connected. I have never seen anyone do it the way you show it just a charging cord to the phone to the cubby hole interface..

[@willtolbert2087]

Do you have an apple or android phone

[@jayleav]

Does this work with only the cord or do you have to have a Bluetooth connection?

[@robertrottet8150]

I just spent a day trying to do this and even had the dealer working with me and tech support called too. I have a 2023 base model so maybe they changed things but I’m being told you can’t use CarPlay without the modem installed. Even then it’s not working. Finally I had to download their nav and then I could use CarPlay with my maps on the iPhone.

[@allthekidsareright]

Will this work with a 2020? Anyone know?
