Factory codeFLHT
EngineEvolution 1340
Factory head unitNone from factory — add an aftermarket CarPlay radio
Factory USB locationNone

The 1998 Electra Glide is the last of the first three model years, and unlike its 96-97 siblings it shipped with a factory radio pocket ready to use. A Diamond Audio MS-HD9813 or Soundstream SG-V2 or WHD.9813 drops directly into that batwing pocket for wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, no adapter kit needed. From there, a HogPlay Media Box slots in behind the new touchscreen, giving this classic Electra Glide the Netflix, YouTube, and streaming apps its original radio was never built to handle.

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.

We also stock universal parts that fit the 1998 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide and most other motorcycles — standalone CarPlay screens and universal USB power.

About the 1998 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide

Because 1998 fits the factory radio pocket directly, the batwing-cut Diamond Audio MS-HD9813 or Soundstream SG-V2/WHD.9813 mounts cleanly for wireless CarPlay and Android Auto on this Electra Glide.

Behind that new screen, a HogPlay Media Box adds Netflix, YouTube, and streaming apps — a direct-fit upgrade with no factory bypass required.
