The 2016 Ultra Limited added linked Brembo braking to the touring lineup but kept the same Boom! Box 6.5 GT touchscreen - a solid system for the era, just without any factory Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. HogPlay gives this bike a wireless route to both, whether through a new radio or the stock dash.
No Factory CarPlay — GTS Swap or Aftermarket
The 2016 Harley-Davidson Ultra Limited 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.

Braking got a serious upgrade for 2016, but the cockpit stayed familiar: the Boom! Box 6.5 GT touchscreen was already a generation old and never included Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. It was solid motorcycle media for its time, but it doesn't stretch to the apps and mapping riders expect from a phone today.
The straightforward fix is an aftermarket touchscreen radio - Aquatic AV and SoundStream both offer Harley-fit units with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto onboard, and since it's a standalone head unit there's no headset bypass involved.
Want to stay Harley-branded? Swap in a 2019-2023 GTS radio and add a HogPlay CarPlay bypass adaptor to unlock its factory Apple CarPlay and USB port, then round it out with a HogPlay Media Box for Android Auto plus Netflix, YouTube and podcast streaming from an SD card, or a USB Piglet for Android Auto and AirPlay-style mirroring. A bar-mounted Media Screen is an option, but most riders with a head unit already in the dash choose to upgrade the radio instead.
