Indian Motorcycle's touch screen

[OverHillAndDale]

I know some people are against over-gadgetry on a bike, but I can't get too much.

I wish Can-Am had this type of interface - GPS, bike status including TPMS, etc.

Yes, I have both a Gold Wing and Spyder RT Limited. I wish both of these bikes would update to something like this. They are great bikes and reliable, but an update to "today's world" in the electronic interfaces sure would be nice! Thanks for the link. :thumbup:

I would think that they are going to have to come out with something soon. All the other "luxury" tourers are starting to get a display like that. I have a SUV with a touch screen in it and I love it. When Can Am does this I would hope it the touch screen system would incorporate CarPLAY (For Iphones) and ANDROID AUTO (for the others).

I agree: it's gorgeous!

But at what price? :shocked:

Petty sweet setup, looks really user friendly. Can-Am may eventually come out with something similar, but too late for me.

I'll be willing to wait and see how they integrate it...
It'll give me the time to get this one paid off! :thumbup:

I like the fact that it appears to work very well with ryding gloves. And, the "pinchable" screen is a better way of zooming in and out than the +/- keys.

On the other hand, I don't need any more distractions when I ryde.

Distractions? :shocked:
I might be in trouble...

Hard to say, but it looks like the 2018 RT dashboard might be a step in this direction. It appears that it is designed to use your phone via Bluetooth to provide music, navigation and perhaps other services. I like the full color display on the website.

I wonder what happens when you're out of a signal range with your carrier, OR what people like Bob Denman who don't carry a full-featured phone will do?

We are going to need some good hard road testing facts from those that opt for the 2018's. :yes::yes::yes:
