The 2018 CVO Ultra Limited Anniversary was Harley's flagship touring bagger that year, wrapped in anniversary trim and running the top-shelf Boom! Box 6.5 GT infotainment system. That 6.5-inch touchscreen was genuinely impressive for 2018, with GPS, weather, and Bluetooth pairing, but Harley never wired in Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. HogPlay adds both, wirelessly, so phone navigation, calls, and music can run straight from the dash.
No Factory CarPlay — GTS Swap or Aftermarket
The 2018 Harley-Davidson CVO Ultra Limited Anniversary 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.

The 2018 CVO Ultra Limited Anniversary is a full-dress touring bagger built for long miles, and its Boom! Box 6.5 GT was the most capable factory system Harley offered that year — a bright touchscreen with GPS, weather, and Bluetooth phone pairing. What it never had was Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, so turn-by-turn from your phone and voice-driven texting stayed out of reach.
Most riders solve that by swapping in an aftermarket CarPlay radio from a brand like SoundStream, Rockford Fosgate, Boss, Diamond Audio, or Aquatic AV — nearly all of them include both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto onboard, and there's no headset bypass to fuss with on this path. If you'd rather keep a Harley-branded dash, another option is upgrading to a 2019-2023 Boom! Box GTS head unit and pairing it with a HogPlay CarPlay bypass adaptor, which unlocks the GTS's built-in CarPlay and USB port.
Whichever radio ends up on the bars, a HogPlay Media Box layers on Android Auto plus Netflix, YouTube, YouTube Music, and podcasts, playing straight off an SD card or USB drive with no phone data burned. Prefer a lighter setup? A USB Piglet adds Android Auto with Mirror Link or AirPlay screen mirroring, and if you'd rather add a screen than replace one, a bar-mounted Media Screen is worth a look — though on a CVO that already carries a head unit, most riders find upgrading the radio itself the better move.
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.
