Do you have to have the nav package? I heard from someone else you would have to have the cellular modem to get CarPlay. If that’s true, it would be a terrible money grab and put Indian on par with BMW trying to charge it’s customers a subscription to use CarPlay.![]()
Well that’s a let down, it’s there...the widgets stay put when you shut the bike down however I can’t get CarPlay to work. I have the phone plugged into the usb like it’s supposed to be. I even paired my headset to the bike to meet their instructions and still nothing. Tried cycling power on bike, Bluetooth on/off on phone, WiFi on/off on phone and still nada. Hmmm

Unfortunately I saw these notes posted on a Facebook group. I think we might be boned.Negative, have a base model. The update doesn’t mention anything about needing the Nav pack. Hopefully I’m just doing something slightly wrong (wouldn’t be the first time lol) but you’re right if you need to upgrade to their nav first that’s a bullshit money grab!

Yep...this was a swing and a miss by IM. Makes me wonder if anyone at IM is a rider or consulted with the software developer. This is ridiculous...you can’t use Apple Car Play w/o a headset being paired to the bike...even though all you want to do is use your phone for nav and music. So, I did this work-around. Had an old pair of Bluetooth earbuds and paired them to the bike. Bingo...everything worked on Apple Car Play. Now the downside, the earbuds will only work when not plugged into a charger...so, my plan was to pair them to the bike and leave them plugged into the saddlebag charger...but that’s not going to work. So, every time I want to use Car Play, I’ve got to unhook them from the charger and pair & connect them to the bike. Then, I’m only good until the battery dies on the earbuds...which is about 10 hours. So, for most days, 10 hours is enough, but on a bike trip, it won’t be.![]()

That is a whole different level of stupid. Why would you ever need a Bluetooth headset attached to use CarPlay? My truck has CarPlay, doesn’t require you to buy nav, and certainly doesn’t need a Bluetooth headset.Yep...this was a swing and a miss by IM.

I doubt it. The instruction on the Indian Website said to load it on a usb that’s formatted for fat32 or exfat and then hook that to your bike for the upgrade. If you only have an iPhone or iPad, the software update will not show up on your device. You’re going to have to find a pc to use.Is there anyway to download the file to your phone and getting it on the USB drive without using a computer

I'm sure it's requiring a headset to be paired for the phone function of Carplay
Yes, it's true. If the headset is not paired and connected to the bike, Carplay will not appear on the screen, even thogh the iPhone is connected via bluetooth. IMHO, this makes it useless.According to many who have just downloaded it, this is true.
