The Chieftain Elite is the new model of luxury motorcycle from Indian Motorcycle: produced at only 120 units (like the number of years of existence of the American manufacturer), the beast costs $ 34,999. But for this price, the lucky drivers will be entitled to a 7-inch CarPlay compatible on-board screen.
The integration is neat (the safety of the driver is also at stake), since it is possible to navigate in the CarPlay interface and in the apps from buttons on the handlebars (and even to zoom in on a map). The driver can press (physical) buttons under the screen to display the GPS application, the Phone app or the Music app in full screen (don’t worry, the screen is touch-sensitive).
The connection with the iPhone is wired, a small storage compartment is provided. CarPlay complements the home entertainment and GPS system, Ride Command. For those who can’t afford that much, Indian Motorcycle offers support for Apple’s technology in several other of its models.
