The 2016 Electra Glide Standard carries the same value proposition - a fully faired touring platform without the Ultra's extra weight and cost. Its Boom! Box 4.3 was a capable basic unit in its day, but non-touch and built before Apple CarPlay or Android Auto existed on any Harley radio. HogPlay retrofits both, wirelessly, so riders get modern motorcycle media without swapping the whole dash.
No Factory CarPlay — GTS Swap or Aftermarket
The 2016 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Standard 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.

The 2016 Electra Glide Standard is Harley's value-minded answer to the full touring lineup - same batwing fairing and long-haul ergonomics as its pricier siblings, fewer extras. That includes the factory Boom! Box 4.3, a decent basic radio for the era but strictly non-touch, with no Apple CarPlay and no Android Auto built in anywhere in the system.
Most owners solve this with an aftermarket CarPlay radio - Aquatic AV and SoundStream both make units built for motorcycle use that bring Apple CarPlay and Android Auto together in one head unit, installed cleanly with no headset bypass needed. The alternative is swapping to a 2019-2023 GTS radio and pairing it with a HogPlay CarPlay bypass adaptor, which activates the GTS's factory CarPlay and USB port on the older bike.
Add a HogPlay Media Box to either setup and you get Android Auto plus Netflix, YouTube, YouTube Music, and podcasts, played from an SD card or USB drive rather than phone data - real motorcycle media without burning through a cellular plan. A USB Piglet covers Android Auto with Mirror Link or AirPlay mirroring, and a bar-mounted Media Screen is there for riders who want extra display real estate without a full radio swap.
