The 2009 CVO Road Glide (Japan) is a shark-nose faired tourer built for long, fast miles, and its Harman/Kardon Advanced Audio system was genuinely impressive gear for the era. It just predates smartphones as we know them today, so there is no touchscreen, no Apple CarPlay and no Android Auto built in. Riders who want turn-by-turn maps, calls and music on the fairing screen today get there by fitting an aftermarket CarPlay radio sized for this bike, with HogPlay accessories layered on top.

No Factory CarPlay — Add It Your Way

The 2009 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide (Japan) 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.

We also stock universal parts that fit the 2009 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide (Japan) and most other motorcycles — standalone CarPlay screens and universal USB power.

About the 2009 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide (Japan)

The 2009 CVO Road Glide (Japan) carries Harley's premium touring trim on the shark-nose fairing platform, with the Harman/Kardon Advanced Audio head unit as its centerpiece. That radio handled AM/FM and accessory audio well for its time, but it was built years before Apple CarPlay or Android Auto existed, so it has no wireless phone mirroring and no app support of any kind.

Owners upgrading this Road Glide today aren't chasing nostalgia for the factory dash, they're after CarPlay and Android Auto that actually work on the move. The practical route is replacing the Harman/Kardon unit with a fairing-fit aftermarket CarPlay radio from a brand like SoundStream or Rockford Fosgate, most of which bring wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto right out of the box, sized to drop into the factory opening.

Once that new radio is in place, a HogPlay Media Box layers on Netflix, YouTube, YouTube Music and podcasts playable straight from an SD card or USB drive, no phone data needed. A HogPlay USB Piglet adds Android Auto plus Mirror Link or AirPlay screen mirroring for riders who want their phone's screen up front. And for anyone who'd rather leave the stock radio alone entirely, a bar-mounted HogPlay Media Screen is a simpler alternative that adds a display without touching the dash.
