The 2017 Harley-Davidson Road Glide Police left the factory as a duty platform, not an infotainment showcase — the fairing pocket built for department radio gear leaves zero built-in CarPlay or Android Auto. That blank slate is actually the appeal: a fleet-spec Road Glide can be outfitted exactly to the rider's or department's spec, from a Harley-branded head unit to a full aftermarket swap, then layered with the phone-mirroring features the job actually needs.
Choosing Your Radio Path on a Fleet-Ready Road Glide Police
Once the radio decision is made, Android Auto becomes its own line item rather than an assumption. Riders staying with the GTS path get CarPlay from the headset bypass and then add Android Auto separately through a HogPlay Media Box or a compact Piglet. On the aftermarket side, only SoundStream carries Android Auto natively; head units from Rockford Fosgate, Boss, Aquatic AV, and Diamond Audio ship CarPlay-only and pick up Android Auto the same way the GTS does — bolt on a Media Box or Piglet. For a build that skips head-unit selection altogether, a bar-mounted HogPlay Media Screen arrives with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto already integrated, no radio decision required.

Because this Road Glide Police shipped without a consumer stereo, every build starts from the same choice: keep the Harley ecosystem or go aftermarket. Riders who want factory switchgear and styling drop in a Boom! Box GTS radio, whose CarPlay hardware is present but locked until a HogPlay headset bypass switches it on wirelessly — CarPlay only, with no Android side unlocked by this route.
Riders building toward Android compatibility from day one often skip the GTS entirely and step into the aftermarket radio lineup, which needs no bypass at all — CarPlay works out of the box on every unit listed there. Either direction lands the same bike in a very different place electronically, which is exactly why this model rewards a deliberate build plan instead of a default option.
2017 Harley-Davidson Road Glide Police CarPlay & Android Auto — FAQ
Does the 2017 Harley-Davidson Road Glide Police support wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto?
The 2017 Harley-Davidson Road 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 Road Glide Police?
Two paths on the 2017 Harley-Davidson Road 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 Road Glide Police?
A HogPlay Media Box turns the 2017 Harley-Davidson Road 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 Road Glide Police plug-and-play and reversible?
Yes. Every HogPlay upgrade for the 2017 Harley-Davidson Road 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 Road 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 Road Glide Police?
The 2017 Harley-Davidson Road 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 Road 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 Road 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 Road 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 Road Glide Police is fully wireless (SoundStream, Boss and Diamond Audio radios also run it natively).
