The 2006 Electra Glide brought a real factory audio upgrade with the new Harman/Kardon Advanced Audio system, a genuine step up in sound quality for its time. It still had no touchscreen, no Apple CarPlay, and no Android Auto - phone integration simply wasn't part of that system. HogPlay's path is an aftermarket CarPlay radio built for the fairing, replacing the Harman/Kardon head unit with one that runs wireless CarPlay and Android Auto.
No Factory CarPlay — Add It Your Way
The 2006 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide shipped with the factory Harman/Kardon Advanced Audio — 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 2006 Electra Glide is the first model year with Harman/Kardon Advanced Audio from the factory, a genuine improvement in sound over the old base radio but still built around AM/FM and a CD changer, with no screen or phone pairing of any kind.
Riders who want Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on the bars need to replace that Harman/Kardon head unit with an aftermarket CarPlay radio sized for the fairing - Rockford Fosgate and SoundStream both build units here with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto on board.
From there, a HogPlay Media Box adds Netflix, YouTube, YouTube Music, and podcasts off a USB drive or SD card with no phone data, a USB Piglet covers Android Auto with Mirror Link or AirPlay mirroring, and a bar-mounted Media Screen is there for riders who'd rather keep the factory radio.
