The 2016 Tri Glide Ultra Classic closes out this generation still running the Boom! Box 6.5 GT touchscreen - a strong infotainment setup for the mid-2010s, but one that never offered factory Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Riders drawn to the Tri Glide's automatic-adjacent stability and touring range tend to log big mileage, and big mileage means wanting real phone integration on that dash. HogPlay gives the 2016 model a wireless path to both CarPlay and Android Auto without waiting on Harley for it.
No Factory CarPlay — GTS Swap or Aftermarket
The 2016 Harley-Davidson Tri Glide Ultra Classic 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 adds Netflix, YouTube and streaming and a Piglet adds Mirror Link and AirPlay. No headset bypass required.

By 2016 the Tri Glide Ultra Classic had settled into its role as Harley's long-haul three-wheeler, and the factory Boom! Box 6.5 GT was a fine radio for its moment - touchscreen menus, solid Bluetooth audio, weatherband. What it was never going to get is Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, since those simply weren't part of Harley's factory radio lineup yet. Riders wanting that integration have to add it aftermarket.
The straightforward option is a CarPlay-ready aftermarket radio built for the Tri Glide - brands like SoundStream, Boss and Diamond Audio typically ship with both wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto already onboard, and no headset bypass is required for this swap. The alternative path is retrofitting a 2019-2023 GTS head unit and running a HogPlay CarPlay bypass adaptor, which unlocks that GTS unit's own factory CarPlay and USB port.
Either way, a HogPlay Media Box can add Android Auto plus Netflix, YouTube, YouTube Music and podcast streaming from an SD card or USB drive, keeping phone data out of it entirely. A USB Piglet is the smaller alternative, adding Android Auto with Mirror Link or AirPlay mirroring. Riders who want a second screen closer to the bars can also add a Media Screen alongside the new radio.
HogPlay Media Boxes work on Diamond Audio, Boss Audio, Rockford Fosgate, SoundStream and Aquatic AV aftermarket radios to unlock apps, streaming and more — it's not just for factory screens. Running an aftermarket head unit? See the matching aftermarket radio pages.
