1996 Electra Glide CarPlay Radio Upgrade

The 1996 Electra Glide family runs seven variants deep, from the base Electra Glide and stripped-down Electra Glide Standard up to the chrome-heavy Classic Shrine and sidecar-equipped FLHT. Every one of them shares the same factory AM/FM cassette deck behind the fairing, with no CD player and nothing wireless.

Jump straight to your model: Electra Glide, Electra Glide Classic, Electra Glide Classic Shrine, Electra Glide Classic with Sidecar (FLHTC), Electra Glide Classic with Sidecar (FLHTCI), Electra Glide Standard, Electra Glide with Sidecar (FLHT).

About 1996 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Models

Whether it's the entry-level Standard or the fully-dressed Classic Shrine, every 1996 Electra Glide carries Harley's factory-fitted fairing with a basic AM/FM cassette head unit — no CD, no aux input, and certainly nothing wireless. The sidecar-equipped FLHT and FLHTC variants ran the identical audio setup, just bolted to a bike with a third wheel. It's a simple, dated system that hasn't changed meaningfully since it left the factory.

An aftermarket CarPlay radio replaces that factory deck in the existing fairing opening, giving any 1996 Electra Glide real wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto without cutting new holes in the bodywork or rewiring the speakers. It's the same fix whether you ride the base Electra Glide Classic or the FLHTCI sidecar rig. See the aftermarket radio options to match your dash and confirm exact fitment before you order.
