By 2016 the CVO Ultra Limited was Harley's most decked-out tourer on the road, and the Boom! Box 6.5 GT touchscreen was still doing the infotainment work. It's a capable unit for the era, just without Apple CarPlay or Android Auto — those features simply didn't exist on any factory Harley radio yet. HogPlay brings both to this bike wirelessly, turning the 6.5 GT's blind spot into a non-issue.
No Factory CarPlay — GTS Swap or Aftermarket
The 2016 Harley-Davidson CVO Ultra 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 Ultra Limited pairs Harley's premium touring platform with the Boom! Box 6.5 GT touchscreen, a system that covered navigation and audio duty well but arrived years before Apple CarPlay or Android Auto reached any Harley radio. For riders who lean on their phone for maps, music, and messaging, that gap shows up fast.
The most direct fix is an aftermarket touchscreen receiver — brands like Aquatic AV and SoundStream both build units with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto included. If keeping a Harley head unit matters more, swap the 6.5 GT for a 2019-2023 GTS and add a HogPlay CarPlay bypass adaptor to unlock its factory CarPlay and USB port; Android Auto still needs a separate add-on in that case.
From there, a HogPlay Media Box adds Android Auto along with Netflix, YouTube, YouTube Music, and podcasts, streaming from an SD card or USB drive instead of your phone's data plan. A HogPlay USB Piglet covers Android Auto plus Mirror Link or AirPlay for a simpler build, and a Media Screen mounted to the bars is an option if a new head unit isn't in the plan. Either way, the aftermarket path skips any headset bypass entirely.
