The 2012 CVO Electra Glide kept the Harman/Kardon Advanced Audio system as its factory stereo, delivering clean output for AM/FM and aux sources on long rides. That system still has no CarPlay or Android Auto, leaving riders without maps or hands-free calling on the factory display. HogPlay's aftermarket CarPlay radio adds both, wirelessly, to this fairing.
No Factory CarPlay — Add It Your Way
The 2012 Harley-Davidson CVO Electra 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 2012 CVO Electra Glide carries forward the Harman/Kardon Advanced Audio setup alongside the custom paint and finishes that separate a CVO model from a standard Electra Glide, built for solid factory sound rather than smartphone connectivity.
To bring Apple CarPlay or Android Auto to a 2012 CVO Electra Glide, riders replace that Harman/Kardon radio with an aftermarket unit built for the fairing. Diamond Audio and Rockford Fosgate both make head units here with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto onboard, putting a real touchscreen where the factory display used to be.
A HogPlay Media Box then unlocks Android Auto plus Netflix, YouTube, YouTube Music, and podcasts from an SD card or USB drive, no phone data needed. A USB Piglet handles Android Auto and Mirror Link or AirPlay mirroring for a lighter install, and a bar-mounted Media Screen is there for riders keeping the factory radio as-is.
