2017 Harley-Davidson Ultra Models

Connect Your 2017 Ultra to CarPlay

Every 2017 Harley-Davidson Ultra rolls off the line with a factory Boom! Box 4.3 or Boom! Box 6.5GT infotainment unit — not the newer GTS system, so there's no built-in Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Riders picking a Ultra Limited or Tri Glide Ultra have two proven ways to add modern smartphone integration.

Jump straight to your model: Ultra Classic, Ultra Limited, Ultra Limited Low, Ultra Limited Shrine.

About 2017 Harley-Davidson Ultra Models

The first path is a GTS retrofit: swap in a 2019-2023 Boom! Box GTS head unit and pair it with the HogPlay GTS Bypass to unlock full-speed CarPlay while riding. The second path skips the swap entirely — drop in an aftermarket CarPlay radio from brands like SoundStream, Rockford Fosgate, or Boss, detailed on our aftermarket radios page. Both routes work across the 2017 Ultra lineup, including the Ultra Classic, Ultra Limited Low, and Ultra Limited Shrine.

Whichever radio path you choose, a HogPlay Media Box layers in seamless music and navigation streaming, and a USB Piglet adds Mirror Link or AirPlay support for riders who want a simpler wired option. There's no headset bypass needed for these years — just pick the upgrade path that fits your budget and get connected.
