The 2001 Road Glide kept doing what the Road Glide does best: eating up interstate miles behind a fixed fairing built to shrug off crosswinds. Its factory AM/FM radio was reliable but entirely closed off from any phone, so Apple CarPlay and Android Auto simply weren't options. HogPlay's aftermarket radio breakdown shows 2001 Road Glide owners which fairing-fit CarPlay radios bring both features aboard wirelessly.
No Factory CarPlay — Add It Your Way
The 2001 Harley-Davidson Road Glide shipped with the factory factory touring radio (1999–2005) — a solid unit in its day, but no Apple CarPlay, Android Auto or touchscreen. Fit an aftermarket CarPlay radio (SoundStream, Rockford Fosgate, Boss, Diamond Audio or Aquatic AV) for wireless Apple CarPlay — SoundStream, Boss and Diamond Audio include Android Auto natively, while Rockford Fosgate and Aquatic AV gain it once you add a HogPlay Media Box or Piglet, which also unleash Netflix, YouTube, streaming apps, Mirror Link and AirPlay. No headset bypass needed — that's a factory-radio thing, not aftermarket. Rather not swap the radio? A bar-mounted HogPlay Media Screen adds wireless CarPlay and Android Auto too.

The 2001 Road Glide's fairing is the same story as every early Road Glide: frame-mounted for stability, styled with the signature twin headlamps, and built around a factory AM/FM radio with a fixed opening that later became the standard aftermarket radios fit into.
The demand for CarPlay and Android Auto on a bike like this comes down to convenience most riders now take for granted in a car: spoken navigation, a synced music library, and messages read aloud instead of glanced at. A factory 2001 radio offers none of it.
Aquatic AV and SoundStream both make fairing-specific radios for the Road Glide with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto standard. From there, riders can add a HogPlay Media Box for Android Auto plus Netflix, YouTube, YouTube Music, and podcast streaming off a card or drive, a HogPlay USB Piglet for Android Auto with Mirror Link and AirPlay screen mirroring, or a bar-mounted HogPlay Media Screen for those keeping the original radio.
