The 2016 Electra Glide keeps the touring formula riders trust - big fairing, planted highway manners, and the familiar Boom! Box 4.3 on the dash. That radio was a solid performer in its time, but Apple CarPlay and Android Auto weren't part of its design brief, so there's no factory way to mirror a phone. HogPlay fills that hole with a wireless CarPlay and Android Auto upgrade built specifically for bikes like this one.
No Factory CarPlay — GTS Swap or Aftermarket
The 2016 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide ran the factory Boom! Box 4.3 — 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.

Every 2016 Electra Glide left the factory with the base, non-touch Boom! Box 4.3. It handles Bluetooth calling and audio streaming well enough, but Apple CarPlay and Android Auto simply aren't part of what this generation of hardware can do, touch screen or not.
Aftermarket CarPlay head units from names like SoundStream and Rockford Fosgate solve this directly - most include both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on board and drop into the stock fairing opening. Prefer to keep things closer to factory? Swapping in a 2019-2023 GTS radio and adding a HogPlay CarPlay bypass adaptor unlocks that unit's built-in CarPlay and USB port without any aftermarket-brand styling.
Whichever radio you land on, a Media Box adds Android Auto along with Netflix, YouTube, YouTube Music, and podcast streaming from an SD card or USB drive - genuinely useful motorcycle media with zero phone data used. A USB Piglet is a smaller step, adding Android Auto plus AirPlay or Mirror Link mirroring, and a bar-mounted Media Screen suits riders who'd rather add a display than replace the head unit. No headset bypass applies to the aftermarket-radio path.
