The 2011 CVO Ultra Classic continued as Harley's flagship tourer, dressed in exclusive CVO colorways and built around a cockpit meant for cross-country riding. The Harman/Kardon Advanced Audio radio still sounds solid, but it caps out at AM/FM/CD and has no Apple CarPlay or Android Auto to speak of. HogPlay's approach starts with an aftermarket CarPlay radio sized for this fairing, since no accessory plugs CarPlay into the original unit.

No Factory CarPlay — Add It Your Way

The 2011 Harley-Davidson CVO 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.

We also stock universal parts that fit the 2011 Harley-Davidson CVO Ultra Classic and most other motorcycles — standalone CarPlay screens and universal USB power.

About the 2011 Harley-Davidson CVO Ultra Classic

The 2011 model year kept the CVO Ultra Classic at the top of Harley's touring lineup, with buyers expecting more standard equipment, deeper paint, and a stereo that felt like a genuine upgrade over base trims. What it never had was any hook for a smartphone, since that technology simply wasn't part of the design brief yet.

Real Apple CarPlay and Android Auto require swapping in a fairing-fit aftermarket radio, and options from Boss, Diamond Audio, or Aquatic AV bring wireless versions of both right in the box.

A HogPlay Media Box on that new radio adds Netflix, YouTube, YouTube Music, podcasts, and playback from an SD card or USB drive with no phone data used, while a HogPlay USB Piglet covers Android Auto plus Mirror Link or AirPlay mirroring. For riders keeping the factory radio, a bar-mounted HogPlay Media Screen is the simpler route.
