Want wireless Apple CarPlay on the bars of your 2018 Harley-Davidson Road Glide Police without tearing into the fairing? You've got two quick routes. Add a factory Boom! Box GTS and pair it with a HogPlay headset bypass, or skip the swap entirely with a bar-mounted Media Screen.
Fastest way to wireless CarPlay on this Police Road Glide
For a bike built around a radio-delete pocket, the shortest ride to wireless CarPlay is a HogPlay Media Screen mounted right to the bars — CarPlay and Android Auto arrive together, no bypass, no aftermarket radio swap. If you'd rather keep the factory look, the Boom! Box GTS plus a HogPlay bypass gets you there too, wireless CarPlay only. Either way, layering in a HogPlay Media Box or Piglet brings Android Auto and streaming apps to any CarPlay-only setup. Going the aftermarket route instead? SoundStream is the sole head unit here with Android Auto built in — Rockford Fosgate, Boss, Aquatic AV, and Diamond Audio ship CarPlay-only and pick up Android Auto the same way, via Media Box or Piglet.

Departments spec the Road Glide Police without a factory head unit — the fairing pocket where a radio would normally sit holds a radio-delete plate for two-way comms gear instead, so there's nothing pre-wired to unlock out of the box. That's precisely why the fastest path is skipping the guesswork: strap on a HogPlay Media Screen and you've got wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto running before your coffee's cold, no dash surgery involved.
Prefer something closer to OEM? Drop in Harley's Boom! Box GTS — CarPlay is baked into the hardware but locked down until a HogPlay bypass flips the switch, giving you wireless CarPlay (Apple only, not Android). Rather go aftermarket? Browse the aftermarket radio hub for a head unit with CarPlay ready straight out of the box, no bypass hardware required.
2018 Harley-Davidson Road Glide Police CarPlay & Android Auto — FAQ
Does the 2018 Harley-Davidson Road Glide Police support wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto?
The 2018 Harley-Davidson Road 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 Road Glide Police?
Two paths on the 2018 Harley-Davidson Road 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 Road Glide Police?
A HogPlay Media Box turns the 2018 Harley-Davidson Road 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 Road Glide Police plug-and-play and reversible?
Yes. Every HogPlay upgrade for the 2018 Harley-Davidson Road 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 Road 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 Road Glide Police?
The 2018 Harley-Davidson Road 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 Road 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 Road 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 Road 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 Road Glide Police is fully wireless (SoundStream, Boss and Diamond Audio radios also run it natively).
