The 2009 Tri Glide Ultra Classic introduced Harley's first true three-wheeled tourer, pairing Ultra Classic comfort with the stability of a trike for riders who wanted long miles without balancing at stops. Its Harman/Kardon Advanced Audio system was a genuine step up in fairing sound for the era, but it's a fixed AM/FM/weatherband unit with no touchscreen, no Apple CarPlay and no Android Auto. HogPlay's answer is an aftermarket CarPlay radio built for this fairing, unlocking wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto the factory deck never offered.
No Factory CarPlay — Add It Your Way
The 2009 Harley-Davidson Tri Glide Ultra Classic 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 2009 Tri Glide Ultra Classic was Harley-Davidson's first factory trike, built on the familiar Ultra Classic touring platform but riding on two rear wheels with a reverse gear for effortless parking-lot maneuvers. It kept the full touring package - fairing, lowers, tour-pack and Harman/Kardon Advanced Audio - aimed at riders who wanted the comfort of long-haul touring without balancing a two-wheeler at every stoplight.
Riders picking up a first-year Tri Glide today mostly want the same things every touring rider wants: turn-by-turn navigation on the fairing display, hands-free calls, and their own music library instead of scanning AM/FM. The factory Harman/Kardon radio simply wasn't built for phone integration, so the practical fix is swapping in an aftermarket CarPlay radio sized for this fairing - brands like SoundStream and Rockford Fosgate build head units that drop into the Tri Glide dash and add wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto out of the box.
Once that new radio is in, a HogPlay Media Box layers on Android Auto plus streaming apps - Netflix, YouTube, YouTube Music and podcasts - playing straight from an SD card or USB drive with no phone data burned. Prefer to keep tethering to your phone instead? A HogPlay USB Piglet adds Android Auto plus AirPlay-style mirroring, and if you'd rather not touch the factory radio at all, a bar-mounted HogPlay Media Screen gives this trike a CarPlay display without any swap.
