The 1996 Electra Glide is the workhorse that started Harley's modern touring lineup, riding behind the familiar batwing fairing — but this year came with no factory audio provisions whatsoever. A Diamond Audio MS-HD9813 or Soundstream SG-V2 or WHD.9813, all cut for the batwing pocket, brings wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to the dash. Since 1996 never had a factory radio, the correct install kit and wire harness make the swap fit like it belongs there. From there, a HogPlay Media Box adds the streaming apps this classic tourer was never built with.
Headset Bypass Required
The factory radio locks CarPlay behind a paired headset. A HogPlay headset bypass removes that so CarPlay and the USB port work without one — then a Media Box or Piglet adds wireless CarPlay, Android Auto and streaming apps.

With the right install kit and wire harness, the batwing-cut Diamond Audio MS-HD9813 or Soundstream SG-V2/WHD.9813 drops into this 1996 Electra Glide's fairing pocket for wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, even though the bike shipped with no audio at all.
Behind that new touchscreen, a HogPlay Media Box brings Netflix, YouTube, and streaming apps to a 30-year-old classic that never had a media system to begin with.
This 1996 Electra Glide never came with a factory radio, so a HogPlay Media Box paired with its new aftermarket CarPlay radio is effectively building a media system from scratch — and doing it right. The Media Box tucks in behind the batwing-cut touchscreen, plug-and-play once the harness is wired, unlocking Netflix, YouTube, and streaming apps for long stretches on the interstate. For a bike this old with this little factory electronics, the combination brings the cockpit fully current without disturbing the classic batwing fairing lines Harley riders still recognize instantly.
