The 2011 Road Glide Custom carries on the fairing-mounted style that sets it apart from its Road Glide sibling, still tuned for miles rather than sprints. Harman/Kardon's Advanced Audio unit was the factory's answer to touring sound at the time, yet it has no path to Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. HogPlay replaces that deck with an aftermarket CarPlay radio built for the fairing, bringing wireless CarPlay and Android Auto to the bar for the first time.
No Factory CarPlay — Add It Your Way
The 2011 Harley-Davidson Road Glide Custom 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 2011 Road Glide Custom keeps the frame-mounted fairing that defines this model, holding its line through wind and weather without the front end catching a crosswind the way a fork-mounted fairing can. It's built as a mile-eater, and the factory cockpit backs that up with the Harman/Kardon Advanced Audio system feeding a full set of touring gauges.
What that factory system can't do is talk to a smartphone. There's no Apple CarPlay, no Android Auto, and no way to add either without changing the radio itself - riders relying on phone navigation or streaming music are stuck routing everything through wired earbuds or an aftermarket clamp mount.
An aftermarket CarPlay radio from a brand like Boss or Diamond Audio drops into that same fairing opening and brings wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto standard. Pair it with a HogPlay Media Box for Android Auto plus Netflix, YouTube, YouTube Music, and podcast streaming from an SD card or USB drive - no phone data required. A HogPlay USB Piglet covers Android Auto with Mirror Link and AirPlay screen mirroring for riders who want their phone's screen up front. And if swapping the factory radio isn't in the plan, a bar-mounted HogPlay Media Screen gets CarPlay-style functionality without touching the fairing.
