| Factory USB | USB-A (media / charge only) |
2017 marked the Milwaukee-Eight engine's arrival across Harley's touring line, and the Electra Glide Standard carried the new powerplant into its no-frills trim. The bike still shipped with the Boom! Box 4.3 - a decent basic radio, but non-touch and without Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. HogPlay adds both wirelessly, letting this budget tourer keep pace with newer touring models on phone connectivity.
No Factory CarPlay — GTS Swap or Aftermarket
The 2017 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Standard ran the factory Boom! Box 4.3 — 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.

2017 brought the Milwaukee-Eight engine to Harley's touring line, and the Electra Glide Standard carried it into the same stripped-down trim that's made this model a favorite for riders who want comfort and mileage over chrome. The factory Boom! Box 4.3 didn't change with the engine, though - still a solid basic radio, still non-touch, and still without Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
An aftermarket CarPlay radio from a brand like Rockford Fosgate or SoundStream is the direct fix - most bring Apple CarPlay and Android Auto together in one head unit, and because it's a standalone install, there's no headset bypass involved. Riders who'd rather keep a factory-style radio can swap to a 2019-2023 GTS unit and add a HogPlay CarPlay bypass adaptor, unlocking the GTS's built-in CarPlay and USB port on this Milwaukee-Eight bike.
Pair either route with a HogPlay Media Box for Android Auto plus Netflix, YouTube, YouTube Music, and podcast streaming from an SD card or USB drive - no phone data needed. A USB Piglet adds Android Auto with Mirror Link or AirPlay screen mirroring, and a bar-mounted Media Screen gives riders a dedicated display option without a full radio replacement.
