Departments running a 2016 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Police get a fairing built for radio gear, not a fixed radio brand — the stock cutout ships empty, ready for whatever the shop specs. That blank slate is an advantage: riders can drop in a factory Boom! Box GTS or choose from several aftermarket CarPlay head units, each landing wireless Apple CarPlay a different way.
Which path suits a Police-spec Electra Glide best
For a 2016 Electra Glide Police, the deciding factor is usually how much say the rider wants over radio brand: staying with a Boom! Box GTS keeps the dash factory-correct but ties CarPlay to the HogPlay headset bypass for activation, while going aftermarket opens the door to Rockford Fosgate, Boss, Aquatic AV, Diamond Audio, or SoundStream — all CarPlay-ready without a bypass. Either way, Android Auto rides in through a HogPlay Media Box or a compact Piglet, since only SoundStream has it natively. Riders who'd rather not touch the head unit at all can bolt on a HogPlay Media Screen, which brings wireless CarPlay and Android Auto together without any swap.

Go the GTS route on this 2016 Electra Glide Police and you're adding Harley's own touring head unit into that open fairing pocket — a clean, factory-styled install, though its CarPlay is locked out of the box until a HogPlay headset bypass switches it on. That bypass is CarPlay-only, so Android riders still need a second piece.
Skip the GTS and shop aftermarket instead, and the calculus flips: units from SoundStream, Rockford Fosgate, Boss, Aquatic AV, and Diamond Audio arrive with wireless CarPlay already unlocked, no bypass step required. SoundStream stands apart as the one brand in that lineup with native Android Auto built in from the factory.
2016 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Police CarPlay & Android Auto — FAQ
Does the 2016 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Police support wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto?
The 2016 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Police ships with no factory radio — just a radio-delete box in the fairing for department gear. Add wireless Apple CarPlay two ways: a factory Boom! Box GTS unlocked by a headset HogPlay bypass, or an aftermarket CarPlay radio with no bypass. A HogPlay Media Box or Piglet then adds wireless Android Auto and streaming.
How do I get wireless Android Auto on the 2016 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Police?
Two paths on the 2016 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Police: add a factory Boom! Box GTS with a headset HogPlay bypass for wireless CarPlay, or an aftermarket CarPlay radio. Either way a HogPlay Media Box or Piglet adds wireless Android Auto — required on Rockford Fosgate and Aquatic AV radios, while SoundStream, Boss and Diamond Audio include Android Auto on their own.
What apps and streaming can I run on the 2016 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Police?
A HogPlay Media Box turns the 2016 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Police into a full media center — Android Auto, Apple CarPlay plus Netflix, YouTube, maps and music — on either a Boom! Box GTS or an aftermarket radio. A Piglet adds wireless Android Auto and CarPlay in a smaller package.
Is the HogPlay install on the 2016 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Police plug-and-play and reversible?
Yes. Every HogPlay upgrade for the 2016 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Police is true plug-and-play — a simple electrical connection with no cutting, splicing or flashing, and it's fully reversible. Setup is easy; exactly how you reach the connector varies by bike (USB adaptors plug straight in, while some radio-mounted bypasses need brief fairing or radio access).
Do I need a bypass to add Android Auto to the 2016 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Police?
Only on the Boom! Box GTS path. If you fit a factory GTS, a headset HogPlay bypass unlocks wireless Apple CarPlay first — the gateway to Android Auto — then a HogPlay Media Box or Piglet adds Android Auto. An aftermarket CarPlay radio needs no bypass; add the HogPlay Media Box or Piglet straight away (SoundStream, Boss and Diamond Audio already include Android Auto; Rockford Fosgate and Aquatic AV get it from the Media Box or Piglet).
Which HogPlay parts fit the 2016 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Police?
The 2016 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Police fits a headset HogPlay bypass for a factory Boom! Box GTS, a HogPlay Media Box or Piglet for wireless Android Auto and streaming, or an all-in-one HogPlay Media Screen if you'd rather not swap the radio. Confirm the exact set for your bike with What Fits.
For the 2016 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Police, is a Media Box or a Piglet the better pick?
Both add wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay to the 2016 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Police. The HogPlay Media Box is the full media center — Android Auto, CarPlay, Netflix, YouTube and maps; the Piglet is a pocket-size USB adaptor for wireless Android Auto and CarPlay without the extra streaming apps.
Is Android Auto on the 2016 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Police wireless?
Yes — through a HogPlay Media Box or Piglet on either a bypassed Boom! Box GTS or an aftermarket radio, Android Auto on the 2016 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Police is fully wireless (SoundStream, Boss and Diamond Audio radios also run it natively).
