The 2006 Road Glide introduced Harman/Kardon Advanced Audio to the fairing, a genuine sound upgrade over the old base radio but still built without any phone connectivity. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto weren't part of the picture even with the new sound system. HogPlay's guide covers the aftermarket CarPlay radios that bring wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to a 2006 Road Glide.
No Factory CarPlay — Add It Your Way
The 2006 Harley-Davidson Road 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 model year brought Harman/Kardon Advanced Audio into the Road Glide's frame-mounted fairing, a real jump in sound quality over the earlier base radio. What didn't change is the total absence of any way to link a phone to it.
Owners of a 2006 Road Glide who want CarPlay navigation, streamed music, and hands-free messaging are asking for features no factory radio from this year offers, Harman/Kardon or not. The fix is a fairing-fit aftermarket radio built specifically to replace it.
Aquatic AV and SoundStream both build CarPlay-ready radios for the Road Glide fairing with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto onboard. From there, a HogPlay Media Box adds Android Auto plus Netflix, YouTube, YouTube Music, and podcasts from an SD card or USB drive, a HogPlay USB Piglet adds Android Auto with Mirror Link or AirPlay mirroring, and a bar-mounted HogPlay Media Screen suits riders who'd rather keep the Harman/Kardon head unit in place.
