The 2017 Road Glide introduced the Milwaukee-Eight engine underneath the same Rushmore-style fairing, still running the non-touch Boom! Box 4.3 radio. The engine changed - the infotainment didn't - so there was still no Apple CarPlay or Android Auto from the factory. HogPlay brings wireless CarPlay and Android Auto to this Road Glide through an aftermarket radio swap or a GTS-based upgrade path.
No Factory CarPlay — GTS Swap or Aftermarket
The 2017 Harley-Davidson Road Glide 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.

The 2017 Road Glide's Milwaukee-Eight engine was the big news that year, but the Boom! Box 4.3 radio stayed exactly the same - a solid non-touch unit with no Apple CarPlay or Android Auto support. Riders chasing modern phone integration on this bike are looking at an aftermarket upgrade either way.
Brands like Rockford Fosgate, SoundStream, Diamond Audio, Boss and Aquatic AV all sell CarPlay radios sized for the Road Glide fairing, most with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto both on board and no headset bypass to wire in. If you'd rather keep the factory Harley radio face, swapping to a 2019-2023 GTS unit and running a HogPlay CarPlay bypass adaptor unlocks its built-in CarPlay and USB port - Android Auto on that path comes from a separate add-on.
Either route works well with a HogPlay Media Box, which adds Android Auto plus Netflix, YouTube, YouTube Music and podcasts from an SD card or USB drive, no phone data used. A USB Piglet is the compact alternative for Android Auto with Mirror Link or AirPlay mirroring, and a bar-mounted Media Screen makes more sense on bikes with no radio at all - most 2017 Road Glide riders, already running a head unit, upgrade that instead.
