The 2012 Road Glide Ultra kept the frame-mounted fairing and full Ultra touring gear, running the same Harman/Kardon Advanced Audio setup Harley used across these model years. It's a capable, road-tested stereo with zero touchscreen, no Apple CarPlay, and no Android Auto. HogPlay's aftermarket fairing radios replace that head unit with one that adds wireless CarPlay and Android Auto out of the box.
No Factory CarPlay — Add It Your Way
The 2012 Harley-Davidson 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 on-board CarPlay and Android Auto, then a HogPlay Media Box unleashes Netflix, YouTube and streaming apps and a Piglet adds 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 too.

The 2012 Road Glide Ultra pairs Harley's frame-mounted fairing with full Ultra touring equipment - locking saddlebags, a tour-pack trunk, and a Harman/Kardon Advanced Audio stereo wired through the fairing speakers. That system still sounds decent on the highway, but it stops at AM/FM and satellite radio inputs - there's no touchscreen, no Apple CarPlay, and no Android Auto anywhere in the factory electronics.
Owners riding a 2012 Road Glide Ultra today generally want the same upgrade: real navigation on the dash, music and podcasts pulled from a phone or a drive, and hands-free calling and texting that doesn't mean digging a phone out of a jacket pocket at speed. Getting there means swapping in an aftermarket CarPlay radio built for this fairing opening - Boss and Diamond Audio both build motorcycle-specific head units sized for the Road Glide dash, and most ship with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto already built in.
From there, a HogPlay Media Box adds Android Auto along with Netflix, YouTube, YouTube Music, and podcasts, streamed from an SD card or USB drive rather than a phone connection. A HogPlay USB Piglet is the lighter option, adding Android Auto plus Mirror Link or AirPlay mirroring, and a bar-mounted Media Screen covers riders who want the upgrade without touching the factory radio at all.
HogPlay Media Boxes work on Diamond Audio, Boss Audio, Rockford Fosgate, SoundStream and Aquatic AV aftermarket radios to unlock apps, streaming and more — it's not just for factory screens. Running an aftermarket head unit? See the matching aftermarket radio pages.
