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.
