1996 Harley-Davidson CarPlay & Android Auto Fitment

1996 was still deep in Harley's cassette-and-AM/FM era, and the lineup splits cleanly down the middle: faired tourers like the Electra Glide and Ultra carried a factory head unit, while Softail & Cruiser models carried none. Pick your family below to match the right HogPlay upgrade.

Electra Glide Ultra CVO Road King Softail & Cruiser

About 1996 Harley-Davidson

Every 1996 Harley with a front fairing — Electra Glide, Ultra Classic, the lone CVO Road Glide — shipped with a basic AM/FM cassette deck and nothing resembling Bluetooth or CarPlay. Road King buyers that year got a stripped-down bike with no factory stereo mounted at all, and every Softail, Dyna-style Custom, and Sportster on the roster (883, 1200, Fat Boy, Low Rider, Wide Glide, and the rest) rolled off the line with an empty dash and zero wiring for audio.

For the faired models, an aftermarket CarPlay radio drops into that factory opening and adds real wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. For everything without a factory stereo — Road King included — a bar-mounted HogPlay Media Screen bolts on and does the same job without touching the dash. Check the Electra Glide or Softail & Cruiser family page for exact fitment.
