The 2016 Street Glide Special kept the Boom! Box 6.5 GT as its factory centerpiece, riding a proven touring platform with a touchscreen that still tops out at Bluetooth and Harley's own apps. No Apple CarPlay, no Android Auto out of the box. HogPlay's aftermarket and swap-based options bring both in, wirelessly.
No Factory CarPlay — GTS Swap or Aftermarket
The 2016 Harley-Davidson Street Glide Special 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 Street Glide Special sits on a well-sorted Twin Cam platform with the Boom! Box 6.5 GT as its factory radio. It's a capable touchscreen for its era, but it was built years before CarPlay or Android Auto existed on any Harley.
What most owners actually want is simpler than the factory system offers: wireless CarPlay or Android Auto pulling turn-by-turn directions, playlists and hands-free calls onto a screen they can glance at while riding.
An aftermarket CarPlay radio - Boss, Aquatic AV and SoundStream all make touring-fairing units - typically ships with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto ready to go, and there's no headset bypass involved on this path. If keeping factory styling matters more, some owners swap to a 2019-2023 GTS head unit and add a HogPlay CarPlay bypass adaptor to unlock its built-in CarPlay and USB port. Add a HogPlay Media Box on top for Android Auto plus Netflix, YouTube, YouTube Music and podcast streaming from an SD card or USB drive, or a HogPlay USB Piglet for Android Auto with Mirror Link/AirPlay mirroring. A bar-mounted HogPlay Media Screen rounds out the options for riders who'd rather add a screen than swap the whole radio.
