The 1997 Electra Glide Classic kept the extra comfort and chrome of the Classic trim, still wearing the batwing fairing with no factory audio provisions. A Diamond Audio MS-HD9813 or Soundstream SG-V2 or WHD.9813, cut for the batwing pocket, adds wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to the dash. Because 1997 has no factory radio pocket, the correct install kit and wire harness deliver a clean, proper fit. Add a HogPlay Media Box behind it and this touring Classic finally gets the streaming lineup its comfort-focused spec always seemed to be missing.
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.
