By 2013, the CVO Ultra Classic ANV had spent years refining the Harman/Kardon Advanced Audio system into one of the best-sounding factory setups Harley offered before touchscreen infotainment arrived the following year. It's a strong, road-ready stereo, but it has no Apple CarPlay or Android Auto since those didn't exist yet when this deck was designed. Getting either now means installing an aftermarket CarPlay-capable radio built for the fairing, then layering in a HogPlay accessory to finish the job.
No Factory CarPlay — Add It Your Way
The 2013 Harley-Davidson CVO Ultra Classic ANV 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 2013 CVO Ultra Classic ANV was the final model year to carry the Harman/Kardon Advanced Audio system before Harley moved to touchscreen infotainment in 2014. It's a well-sorted, long-legged tourer, and that factory stereo still holds up on the road, it simply has no touchscreen, no Apple CarPlay and no Android Auto.
Adding either means going aftermarket. A CarPlay-ready radio from a brand like Boss or Diamond Audio, built to fit the factory fairing opening, replaces the Harman/Kardon head unit and brings wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto right out of the box. No factory unlock exists for this generation, so a new radio is the only route in.
From there, a HogPlay Media Box layers on Android Auto plus Netflix, YouTube, YouTube Music and podcasts, streaming from an SD card or USB drive instead of phone data. A HogPlay USB Piglet is the pick for Android Auto plus Mirror Link or AirPlay mirroring, and a bar-mounted HogPlay Media Screen covers riders who'd rather not touch the factory radio at all.
