2005 marks the last year of the original base AM/FM radio before Harley's Harman/Kardon update, and the Ultra Limited's fairing still has no phone integration at all. HogPlay swaps in an aftermarket CarPlay radio built for that dash, delivering wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto a year ahead of the factory's own audio overhaul.
No Factory CarPlay — Add It Your Way
The 2005 Harley-Davidson Ultra Limited 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.

As the final year of the base radio generation, the 2005 Ultra Limited pairs full touring comfort with a simple AM/FM/weatherband head unit that has no data port and no way to talk to a phone.
Riders wanting Apple CarPlay or Android Auto on this bike install an aftermarket fairing radio from SoundStream or Boss, sized for the stock opening and generally including wireless CarPlay and Android Auto right out of the box.
A HogPlay Media Box then adds Android Auto plus Netflix, YouTube, YouTube Music, and podcasts playing from a USB drive or SD card. For Android Auto with Mirror Link or AirPlay mirroring, a USB Piglet is the simpler add, and a bar-mounted Media Screen keeps the factory radio in place for riders who prefer that.
