Riding on the Twin Cam 110 and dressed in CVO-exclusive paint and chrome, the 2012 Road Glide Ultra was built for long days in the saddle with premium sound already baked in. That factory Harman/Kardon Advanced Audio setup handled tunes and highway noise well for the time, but the head unit itself is fixed-function, with no touchscreen and nothing resembling CarPlay or Android Auto. HogPlay's approach is a fairing-fit aftermarket radio that brings both, wirelessly, onto that same dash.
No Factory CarPlay — Add It Your Way
The 2012 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide Ultra 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 Road Glide Ultra carried the Custom Vehicle Operations badge with the extra torque of the Twin Cam 110 and a shark-nose fairing that riders still favor for its stability at speed. The factory Harman/Kardon Advanced Audio was a genuine upgrade over base touring audio in its day, but as a fixed-function 2012 head unit it has no path to phone apps, no CarPlay, and no Android Auto no matter what's plugged into it.
Closing that gap means replacing the head unit with an aftermarket CarPlay radio sized for the Road Glide fairing, with options from Boss, Diamond Audio, and Aquatic AV that ship with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto already built in. Add a HogPlay Media Box on top and that new radio gains Netflix, YouTube, YouTube Music, and podcast streaming, played from an SD card or USB drive rather than burning phone data.
Prefer to keep the stock radio for now? A HogPlay USB Piglet brings Android Auto plus Mirror Link and AirPlay mirroring to a compatible unit, and a bar-mounted HogPlay Media Screen gives this bike a dedicated screen for maps and media without touching the fairing at all.
