Between calls, a 2018 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Police sits parked with its fairing pocket empty of any factory head unit — that slot was built for a scanner or mobile radio, not tunes. Off-shift or waiting on the next dispatch, riders still want wireless Apple CarPlay for turn-by-turn and calls. Two builds get you there, and each opens its own door to Android Auto.
Which route fits your downtime setup best
Riders who want Harley switchgear and factory looks generally lean GTS-plus-bypass; those chasing native Android Auto without extra hardware lean SoundStream. Either way, a HogPlay Media Box or the pocket-sized Piglet layers Android Auto and streaming apps onto whichever CarPlay-only setup you picked. If you'd rather skip swapping the fairing pocket altogether, a bar-mounted HogPlay Media Screen gives you both wireless CarPlay and Android Auto without touching factory wiring.

Because HD never shipped a stereo in this fairing pocket, upfitting starts from a blank slate rather than a bypass job. Path one keeps it factory-flavored: drop in a Boom! Box GTS, then unlock its gated CarPlay with a HogPlay headset bypass for wireless Apple CarPlay — Android Auto isn't part of that unlock.
Path two skips Harley's stack entirely: an aftermarket CarPlay radio drops straight into the fairing pocket with no bypass required. Most of those units — Rockford Fosgate, Boss, Aquatic AV, Diamond Audio — run Apple CarPlay only until a Media Box or Piglet joins them, while SoundStream already has Android Auto built in.
2018 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Police CarPlay & Android Auto — FAQ
Does the 2018 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Police support wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto?
The 2018 Harley-Davidson Electra 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 2018 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Police?
Two paths on the 2018 Harley-Davidson Electra 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 2018 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Police?
A HogPlay Media Box turns the 2018 Harley-Davidson Electra 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 2018 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Police plug-and-play and reversible?
Yes. Every HogPlay upgrade for the 2018 Harley-Davidson Electra 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 2018 Harley-Davidson Electra 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 2018 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Police?
The 2018 Harley-Davidson Electra 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 2018 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Police, is a Media Box or a Piglet the better pick?
Both add wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay to the 2018 Harley-Davidson Electra 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 2018 Harley-Davidson Electra 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 2018 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Police is fully wireless (SoundStream, Boss and Diamond Audio radios also run it natively).
