The 1998 Road Glide introduced Harley's distinctive sharknose fairing, a shape built for a different radio pocket than its batwing siblings. This bike came with the factory opening cut, so a Soundstream WHDRG or the Diamond Audio Road Glide variant drops straight in — both purpose-built for that sharknose cavity. That gets wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto onto a fairing that predates touchscreen radios by over a decade. Behind it, a HogPlay Media Box turns the setup into a real streaming rig for Netflix and YouTube.
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.

A Soundstream WHDRG or Diamond Audio Road Glide variant is built specifically for the sharknose fairing on the 1998 Road Glide, so it fits the factory opening directly and brings wireless CarPlay and Android Auto to the bars.
Pair it with a HogPlay Media Box mounted behind the head unit, and the same fairing now streams Netflix, YouTube and other apps whenever you're parked or waiting on a buddy.

For the 1998 Harley-Davidson Road Glide, is a Media Box or a Piglet the better pick?
Both work on the 1998 Harley-Davidson Road Glide aftermarket radio. The HogPlay Media Box is the full media center — Android Auto, CarPlay, Netflix, YouTube and maps; the Piglet is a pocket-size USB adaptor for wireless Android Auto and CarPlay without the extra streaming apps.
