The 2017 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Police leaves the factory with an empty radio bay behind that batwing fairing — space reserved for department radios and light controllers, not a stereo. That blank slate actually makes wireless smartphone integration simple: bolt on a HogPlay Media Screen and you get CarPlay and Android Auto without touching the dash, or step into a Boom! Box GTS or aftermarket deck if you want a full head unit.
Which upgrade path fits your Electra Glide Police
Once a radio is in place, Android Auto comes down to which deck you chose: drop a HogPlay Media Box or a compact Piglet behind either the GTS-plus-bypass setup or most aftermarket head units and Android Auto (plus streaming apps) comes online. The one exception is SoundStream, which runs Android Auto natively straight out of the box — no add-on needed. Decks like Rockford Fosgate, Boss, Aquatic AV, and Diamond Audio all ship CarPlay-only until a Media Box or Piglet joins the setup.

For riders who'd rather skip swapping hardware into that fairing pocket altogether, a bar-mounted HogPlay Media Screen handles both wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto out of the box — no head unit, no bypass, no fuss. If you'd rather have a proper in-dash radio on this 2017 Police-spec Electra Glide, Harley's own Boom! Box GTS drops into that same empty bay and includes CarPlay hardware, though it stays locked until unlocked in the field.
That's where a HogPlay headset bypass earns its keep, flipping on wireless Apple CarPlay on the GTS (Android Auto isn't part of that unlock). Prefer going aftermarket instead? Browse the aftermarket CarPlay radio hub, since those units run CarPlay natively with no bypass required.
2017 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Police CarPlay & Android Auto — FAQ
Does the 2017 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Police support wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto?
The 2017 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Police ships with no factory radio — just a radio-delete box in the fairing for department gear. Add wireless Apple CarPlay two ways: a factory Boom! Box GTS unlocked by a headset HogPlay bypass, or an aftermarket CarPlay radio with no bypass. A HogPlay Media Box or Piglet then adds wireless Android Auto and streaming.
How do I get wireless Android Auto on the 2017 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Police?
Two paths on the 2017 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Police: add a factory Boom! Box GTS with a headset HogPlay bypass for wireless CarPlay, or an aftermarket CarPlay radio. Either way a HogPlay Media Box or Piglet adds wireless Android Auto — required on Rockford Fosgate and Aquatic AV radios, while SoundStream, Boss and Diamond Audio include Android Auto on their own.
What apps and streaming can I run on the 2017 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Police?
A HogPlay Media Box turns the 2017 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Police into a full media center — Android Auto, Apple CarPlay plus Netflix, YouTube, maps and music — on either a Boom! Box GTS or an aftermarket radio. A Piglet adds wireless Android Auto and CarPlay in a smaller package.
Is the HogPlay install on the 2017 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Police plug-and-play and reversible?
Yes. Every HogPlay upgrade for the 2017 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Police is true plug-and-play — a simple electrical connection with no cutting, splicing or flashing, and it's fully reversible. Setup is easy; exactly how you reach the connector varies by bike (USB adaptors plug straight in, while some radio-mounted bypasses need brief fairing or radio access).
Do I need a bypass to add Android Auto to the 2017 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Police?
Only on the Boom! Box GTS path. If you fit a factory GTS, a headset HogPlay bypass unlocks wireless Apple CarPlay first — the gateway to Android Auto — then a HogPlay Media Box or Piglet adds Android Auto. An aftermarket CarPlay radio needs no bypass; add the HogPlay Media Box or Piglet straight away (SoundStream, Boss and Diamond Audio already include Android Auto; Rockford Fosgate and Aquatic AV get it from the Media Box or Piglet).
Which HogPlay parts fit the 2017 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Police?
The 2017 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Police fits a headset HogPlay bypass for a factory Boom! Box GTS, a HogPlay Media Box or Piglet for wireless Android Auto and streaming, or an all-in-one HogPlay Media Screen if you'd rather not swap the radio. Confirm the exact set for your bike with What Fits.
For the 2017 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Police, is a Media Box or a Piglet the better pick?
Both add wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay to the 2017 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Police. The HogPlay Media Box is the full media center — Android Auto, CarPlay, Netflix, YouTube and maps; the Piglet is a pocket-size USB adaptor for wireless Android Auto and CarPlay without the extra streaming apps.
Is Android Auto on the 2017 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Police wireless?
Yes — through a HogPlay Media Box or Piglet on either a bypassed Boom! Box GTS or an aftermarket radio, Android Auto on the 2017 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Police is fully wireless (SoundStream, Boss and Diamond Audio radios also run it natively).
