The 2017 Road Glide Ultra carried on as one of Harley's most planted long-distance tourers, the fairing splitting the wind while the Ultra's extra storage kept two-up trips packed light on hassle. Its Boom! Box 6.5 GT touchscreen ran music, CB, and intercom well enough, but it launched without Apple CarPlay or Android Auto and nothing since has added them. HogPlay is the aftermarket path that brings wireless CarPlay and Android Auto to the 2017 Road Glide Ultra's dash.
No Factory CarPlay — GTS Swap or Aftermarket
The 2017 Harley-Davidson Road Glide Ultra 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 adds Netflix, YouTube and streaming and a Piglet adds Mirror Link and AirPlay. No headset bypass required.

Ride quality was never the issue on the 2017 Road Glide Ultra - it's the factory Boom! Box 6.5 GT's total lack of Apple CarPlay or Android Auto that sends owners looking for an upgrade.
An aftermarket CarPlay radio is the quickest fix - Diamond Audio and Aquatic AV both build units sized for the Harley fairing that include wireless CarPlay and Android Auto together. Prefer factory looks? Swap in a 2019-2023 GTS radio and pair it with a HogPlay CarPlay bypass adaptor, which unlocks the GTS's own CarPlay and USB port without touching Android Auto behavior.
On whichever radio you land on, a HogPlay Media Box adds Android Auto plus Netflix, YouTube, YouTube Music, and podcasts, played from an SD card or USB drive with zero phone data burned. A USB Piglet is the compact alternative, adding Android Auto and AirPlay/Mirror Link mirroring, and a bar-mounted Media Screen suits riders who'd rather bolt on a second display. The aftermarket-radio route skips any headset bypass entirely.
HogPlay Media Boxes work on Diamond Audio, Boss Audio, Rockford Fosgate, SoundStream and Aquatic AV aftermarket radios to unlock apps, streaming and more — it's not just for factory screens. Running an aftermarket head unit? See the matching aftermarket radio pages.
