The 2016 CVO Limited keeps Harley's flagship touring formula going strong, pairing the Boom! Box 6.5 GT touchscreen with the year's top trim and finish. That factory radio still has no Apple CarPlay and no Android Auto, so phone-based navigation and apps stay out of reach until HogPlay steps in with a wireless upgrade path.
No Factory CarPlay — GTS Swap or Aftermarket
The 2016 Harley-Davidson CVO Limited ran the factory Boom! Box 6.5 GT — no factory CarPlay or Android Auto. Two ways to add it: swap to a 2019–2023 Boom! Box GTS and add a HogPlay GTS Bypass for wireless CarPlay, or fit an aftermarket CarPlay radio (SoundStream, Rockford Fosgate, Boss, Diamond Audio, Aquatic AV). Either way a HogPlay Media Box or Piglet adds Android Auto — a Media Box also unlocks Netflix, YouTube and streaming, and a Piglet adds Mirror Link and AirPlay. No headset bypass required.

The 2016 CVO Limited keeps Harley's flagship touring formula rolling, matching the year's top paint and trim with a factory Boom! Box 6.5 GT touchscreen radio. It's a capable unit for its era, but Apple CarPlay and Android Auto were never part of the package, so mapping, messaging, and streaming apps stay stuck on the rider's phone instead of the fairing screen.
Two upgrade paths solve it. Install an aftermarket touchscreen radio from a maker like Aquatic AV or SoundStream - most of these come with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto built in from the factory, and this route needs no headset bypass at all. Or hold onto the stock look and swap in a 2019-2023 GTS unit, then add a HogPlay CarPlay bypass adaptor to unlock the GTS's factory CarPlay and USB port (Android Auto still needs to come from elsewhere).
That's where the rest of the HogPlay lineup comes in. A Media Box adds Android Auto plus Netflix, YouTube, YouTube Music, and podcast streaming from an SD card or USB drive - real motorcycle media with no phone data plan involved. A USB Piglet adds Android Auto and Mirror Link or AirPlay mirroring for riders who want less hardware, and a bar-mounted Media Screen covers bikes without a screen at all - though on a 2016 CVO Limited with a head unit already in place, most riders go straight for the radio swap.
