The 1997 CVO Road Glide sits in the middle of the earliest CVO run, still wearing the frame-mounted sharknose fairing and still missing any factory audio provisions. A fairing-matched Soundstream WHDRG or Diamond Audio RG variant solves that with a wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto touchscreen built specifically for the sharknose nose. Since 1997 left the fairing pocket empty from the factory, the correct install kit and wire harness are what make the swap clean and factory-fit. Pair it with a HogPlay Media Box and this rare CVO gets real streaming to match its rarity.
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.

The sharknose-specific Soundstream WHDRG or Diamond Audio RG — installed with the correct kit and wire harness — drops into this 1997 CVO Road Glide's fairing pocket for wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, filling a gap the factory never addressed.
Behind that new radio, a HogPlay Media Box adds Netflix, YouTube, and streaming apps, giving a nearly 30-year-old CVO a media stack the factory never offered.
With so few 1997 CVO Road Glides built, this bike deserves an upgrade path that matches its rarity — and a HogPlay Media Box paired with its new aftermarket CarPlay radio delivers exactly that. The Media Box mounts behind the sharknose-cut touchscreen, plug-and-play once the harness is in, opening up Netflix, YouTube, and a full slate of streaming apps for stops on the road. Since this year never had a factory radio pocket to begin with, the install kit does the heavy lifting, and the Media Box turns the finished setup into a genuinely modern entertainment system inside a factory-correct fairing.
