The 2016 Ultra Classic Twin-Cooled closed out this run of the Boom! Box 6.5 GT before Harley moved to the GTS platform, and it remained a comfortable, well-equipped tourer with a genuinely capable touchscreen stereo. What it never got was Apple CarPlay or Android Auto - the 6.5 GT's touch interface handled its own apps and Bluetooth audio, but phone-mirroring was outside its factory feature set. HogPlay gives 2016 Ultra Classic owners a wireless way to bring both onboard.
No Factory CarPlay — GTS Swap or Aftermarket
The 2016 Harley-Davidson Ultra Classic Twin-Cooled 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.

As the last model year to run the Boom! Box 6.5 GT before Harley's GTS radios arrived, the 2016 Ultra Classic Twin-Cooled offers a full touring package - fairing storage, hard bags, and a touchscreen head unit that was ahead of its class for GPS and Bluetooth audio. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, though, were never part of that factory software, no matter how up to date the unit is kept.
Owners typically go one of two directions to add them. Aftermarket CarPlay-ready radios from names like SoundStream, Rockford Fosgate, Boss, Diamond Audio, and Aquatic AV frequently include both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in a single motorcycle-built unit. The alternative is retrofitting a 2019-2023 GTS head unit and running a HogPlay CarPlay bypass adaptor, which unlocks the GTS's built-in CarPlay and USB port for the swap.
Either route pairs well with a HogPlay Media Box, which adds Android Auto along with Netflix, YouTube, YouTube Music, and podcast streaming from an SD card or USB drive - no phone data spent. For riders who'd rather mirror their phone screen directly, a USB Piglet adds Android Auto plus Mirror Link and AirPlay, and a bar-mounted Media Screen covers bikes that want a second display alongside the new radio. No headset bypass is required on this aftermarket-radio path.
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.
