The 1996 Electra Glide Standard was Harley's stripped-down, no-frills batwing tourer, built light on equipment — including audio, which this year skipped entirely. A Diamond Audio MS-HD9813 or Soundstream SG-V2 or WHD.9813, cut for the batwing radio pocket, brings wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to a dash that never had a screen. Since 1996 has no factory provisions, the correct install kit and wire harness make the fit right. A HogPlay Media Box then adds the streaming apps this bare-bones tourer never came close to offering.
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 correct install kit and wire harness, the batwing-cut Diamond Audio MS-HD9813 or Soundstream SG-V2/WHD.9813 mounts into this 1996 Electra Glide Standard's fairing pocket for wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, despite the bike's original bare-bones spec.
Behind that new touchscreen, a HogPlay Media Box unlocks Netflix, YouTube, and streaming apps that this stripped-down Standard was never equipped to run.
