The 2013 Tri Glide Ultra Classic closed out the first generation of Harley's trike before the 2014 Rushmore overhaul, still running the familiar Harman/Kardon Advanced Audio system with no touchscreen, no Apple CarPlay and no Android Auto. HogPlay brings this final pre-Rushmore trike into the smartphone era with an aftermarket CarPlay radio built for its fairing, adding wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto the factory setup never had.
No Factory CarPlay — Add It Your Way
The 2013 Harley-Davidson Tri Glide Ultra Classic 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 Tri Glide Ultra Classic was the last of Harley's original trike design before the 2014 Rushmore redesign reshaped the touring lineup, making this the final model year to carry the classic fairing and Harman/Kardon Advanced Audio combination.
Owners holding onto this last pre-Rushmore trike often want the same modern conveniences newer bikes get standard: Apple CarPlay's mapping and messaging, or Android Auto for a Google-based phone. Aftermarket radios from Diamond Audio and SoundStream are built to fit this fairing directly, swapping out the Harman/Kardon deck for a unit with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto built in from the start.
From there, a HogPlay Media Box adds Android Auto plus streaming - Netflix, YouTube, YouTube Music and podcasts - straight from an SD card or USB drive. A HogPlay USB Piglet offers Android Auto and Mirror Link/AirPlay mirroring for a lighter install, and a HogPlay Media Screen mounted to the bar is the alternative for riders who'd rather not swap the factory radio on this final-year trike.
