The 2018 Road Glide Ultra / Limited closed out this generation with the familiar Boom! Box 6.5 GT touchscreen, a capable unit for its time that never received a factory update for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. HogPlay adds both wirelessly, either through an aftermarket CarPlay radio or a 2019-2023 GTS swap with a HogPlay bypass adaptor.
No Factory CarPlay — GTS Swap or Aftermarket
The 2018 Harley-Davidson Road Glide Ultra / Limited 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 Road Glide Ultra / Limited rounded out the Milwaukee-Eight touring lineup with the same Boom! Box 6.5 GT touchscreen the model had carried for years — a capable unit in its day, but one that never got a factory update for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Riders who want their phone's apps running through that screen need to add it themselves.
An aftermarket CarPlay radio from a brand like Boss or Aquatic AV is the direct fix, and most of these radios come with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto built in already. Riders who'd rather not swap the head unit sometimes add a bar-mounted Media Screen instead, though once a bike already has a radio in the fairing, replacing it tends to be the simpler choice.
To keep more of the factory look, swap the 6.5 GT for a 2019-2023 GTS radio and add a HogPlay CarPlay bypass adaptor to unlock the GTS's own factory CarPlay and USB port (Android Auto isn't included in that unlock). A HogPlay Media Box on the new radio then adds Android Auto plus Netflix, YouTube, YouTube Music, and podcast streaming from an SD card or USB drive, and a HogPlay USB Piglet adds Android Auto with Mirror Link / AirPlay mirroring. 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.
