By 2013 the Road Glide Ultra was a fully sorted long-haul touring bike, still running the Harman/Kardon Advanced Audio stereo Harley had used since 2006. That system handles AM/FM and satellite fine, but it has no Apple CarPlay and no Android Auto. HogPlay pairs this bike with an aftermarket CarPlay radio built for the fairing, unlocking wireless CarPlay and Android Auto in one swap.
No Factory CarPlay — Add It Your Way
The 2013 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 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 Road Glide Ultra is the final model year of this fairing and electronics generation - full Ultra touring trim, locking saddlebags, a tour-pack, and the same Harman/Kardon Advanced Audio system Harley had used since 2006. It's a mature, well-sorted stereo for its era, but still analog at its core: no touchscreen, no Apple CarPlay, no Android Auto.
Riders holding onto a 2013 Road Glide Ultra want modern conveniences without giving up the classic dash - turn-by-turn navigation, streaming music and playlists, and hands-free calls and texts on long rides. The route there is an aftermarket motorcycle radio sized for this fairing opening; Aquatic AV and SoundStream both offer head units built for exactly this dash, most with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto included.
Add a HogPlay Media Box to that new radio for Android Auto plus Netflix, YouTube, YouTube Music, and podcasts, played from an SD card or USB drive with no phone data burned. A HogPlay USB Piglet adds Android Auto and Mirror Link or AirPlay mirroring for riders who want a smaller install, and a bar-mounted Media Screen stays an option for anyone who'd rather not touch the factory radio.
