The 1998 CVO Road Glide closes out the first CVO generation, wearing the sharknose fairing and — unlike its 96-97 siblings — a factory radio pocket ready to accept a new head unit directly. A Soundstream WHDRG or Diamond Audio RG variant, both cut for the sharknose nose, drops in for wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto without any adapter kit. From there, a HogPlay Media Box slots in behind the new touchscreen, giving this final early-CVO Road Glide the streaming apps its factory radio was never built to run.
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.
