2018 closed out this generation of Road Glide Ultra, still built around the shark-nose fairing and the Ultra package's full touring comfort. The Boom! Box 6.5 GT touchscreen was as good as Harley's infotainment got that year on this model, but it shipped without Apple CarPlay or Android Auto and there's no factory update that adds either. HogPlay gives 2018 Road Glide Ultra owners two solid paths to wireless phone mirroring.
No Factory CarPlay — GTS Swap or Aftermarket
The 2018 Harley-Davidson Road Glide Ultra 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.

As the final year of this Road Glide Ultra generation, the 2018 model is a well-sorted tourer let down only by its infotainment - the factory Boom! Box 6.5 GT never had Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, and that's true across every 2018 unit.
The first path is an aftermarket CarPlay radio - brands like SoundStream, Boss, and Rockford Fosgate all offer fairing-fit head units with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto built in. The second path suits riders who want the factory badge back: swap in a 2019-2023 GTS radio and add a HogPlay CarPlay bypass adaptor to unlock the GTS's own CarPlay and USB port.
Layer on a HogPlay Media Box for Android Auto plus Netflix, YouTube, YouTube Music, and podcast streaming from an SD card or USB drive, no phone data spent. Want a smaller add-on instead? A USB Piglet brings Android Auto and AirPlay/Mirror Link mirroring, and a bar-mounted Media Screen is there if a second display beats a full radio swap for your setup. No headset bypass is needed on the aftermarket-radio path.
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.
