| Factory code | FLHT |
|---|---|
| Engine | Milwaukee-Eight 107 |
| Factory radio | Boom! Box 4.3 |
| Factory CarPlay / Android Auto | None from factory — add via an aftermarket radio or a GTS swap |
| Factory USB | USB-A (media / charge only) |
The 2018 Electra Glide Standard continued the Milwaukee-Eight-powered, no-frills approach to touring - full fairing and saddlebags, minus the extra chrome and features of the Ultra Limited. Its factory Boom! Box 4.3 still lacked Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, non-touch and locked to basic audio sources. HogPlay closes that gap wirelessly, adding both to this Harley without replacing the whole cockpit.
No Factory CarPlay — GTS Swap or Aftermarket
The 2018 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Standard ran the factory Boom! Box 4.3 — 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 or Piglet adds Android Auto — a Media Box also unlocks Netflix, YouTube and streaming, and a Piglet adds Mirror Link and AirPlay. No headset bypass required.

The 2018 Electra Glide Standard continues the Milwaukee-Eight-powered, budget-conscious approach to touring - full fairing, hard bags, and long-mile comfort without the Ultra Limited's extra price and features. The factory Boom! Box 4.3 is unchanged from prior years: a fine basic radio, but non-touch, with no Apple CarPlay and no Android Auto on board.
The most direct fix is an aftermarket CarPlay radio - Boss and Diamond Audio both offer units built for this kind of install, most with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto included together, and no headset bypass needed since it's a clean aftermarket swap rather than a factory workaround. Riders wanting to stay closer to a factory look can instead move to a 2019-2023 GTS radio and add a HogPlay CarPlay bypass adaptor to unlock its built-in CarPlay and USB port.
From there, a HogPlay Media Box brings Android Auto plus Netflix, YouTube, YouTube Music, and podcasts from an SD card or USB drive, no cellular data required. A USB Piglet is the Android Auto plus Mirror Link/AirPlay option, and a bar-mounted Media Screen suits riders who want an extra display without swapping the whole radio.
