Connecting Android Auto to Indian Challenger Ride Command 

Right on! Thanks for the compliments. I've seen that color scheme before and I absolutely love it. I've always loved the look of the classic Indians. When they work, the electronics on my Challenger can be amazing. But with all the glitches, I had to try something else. I'm hoping this works better. It already has, so far. Also, more importantly, thanks for the subscribe.

I've had it for a few months now and I am very happy with the results. It's not the most perfect video on connecting it to the bike, but I'm hopeful it helps a little.

Good to know! If I ever find myself without my Cardo on a continuous basis, I'll give that a try.

Thank you. I love our new seat. If you can, I highly recommend Wil Molino to redo yours. You have to have a bluetooth device connected for the Autocast to work. It doesn't necessarily have to be your headset, but since that is the only bluetooth device I have, That's what I have to use every time I ride. It's also fine by me since I need my headset for navigation, phone calls, and music.

I'm happy I could help in my little way. I'm sure I missed a few steps here and there.

No. I have not downloaded the latest update to the Ride Command. I've been waiting to see what the feedback was going to be before I did. I don't think I'm going to. It sounds like the new update has too many issues for me to chance it.

Thanks! It's not perfect, but it does cover the basics. I don't do these types of videos. I just thought it was needed since I wasn't able to find a step-by-step video to guide me. Also, more importantly, thanks for the subscribe.

Me too!! It feels better than it looks and it looks fantastic. In my humble opinion, Will Molino's work is worth the money.

Thank you for the compliment. The seat doesn't only look good, it feels great. Will Molina did a great job. I'm hoping the disconnecting issue improves. I really don't want to go back to having to rely on the Ride Command.

That's a tough question to answer. I get intermittent resets with the Autocast. It's not perfect. However, it's better than the Ride Command. With the Ride Command it constantly has an issue with loading the navigation and my phone always disconnects from the ride command where I have to stop and restart my bike to get it connected again. Every time an update happens, it breaks things more than it fixes. With Autocast, I have more options on the screen when it comes to all the apps on my phone. Messages, phone calls, contact lists, music.... all is so much better on the Autocast. BTW, I should have the AZ video up in a couple of days.

I get it. There really isn't a secret to it. All I did was to keep turning off and on the bike and Cardo until they found each other. If I remember right, it took me about 3 or 4 times.

Only Apple

The 2021 Indian Challenger does not come with Android Auto. It only has Apple Car Play. I'm not sure about the newer models, but I would bet a year's salary that it's still that way.

Absolutely. Here you go: www.amazon.com/OTTOCAST-Wireless-Pro-Experience-Connection/dp/B0BJPKY32N/ref=sr_1_13?crid=28BSQAO0KJVNQ&keywords=autocast&qid=1701727672&sprefix=autocas%2Caps%2C147&sr=8-13

Thank you

I've never owned the 2017 Chieftan, so I couldn't tell you with absolute certainty/ However, the Challenger uses the same Ride Command that Indian puts on all their bikes, so I would assume so.

Yes. I do. But I believe I can purchase a blue tooth device that I can keep in my saddlebag to use when I don't have a helmet with my Cardo. Since it's very unlikely I will ever do that, I do think it's necessary at this time.

Appreciate ya getting back with me@@ridingwiththewhitleys3715

Thank you for your feedback! I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video and share your thoughts. I’ll definitely keep your comment in mind and work on improving my delivery in future videos. I can tell you that I am no expert when it comes to making videos. My goal was to provide helpful content, and your input is valuable in helping me achieve that. Thanks again!
