The 2018 Street Glide Special Anniversary pairs Harley's fairing-mounted touring comfort with special-edition trim, riding on the Milwaukee-Eight engine platform. Its Boom! Box 6.5 GT was one of the more advanced factory touchscreens Harley offered at the time, but it predates Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so there's no factory phone mirroring built in. HogPlay adds wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to that same fairing, either through a new aftermarket CarPlay radio or a swap to a 2019-2023 GTS unit paired with a HogPlay bypass adaptor.
No Factory CarPlay — GTS Swap or Aftermarket
The 2018 Harley-Davidson Street Glide Special Anniversary 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 Street Glide Special Anniversary carries Harley's Milwaukee-Eight power and fairing-mounted touring layout, dressed in Anniversary-year trim. Its Boom! Box 6.5 GT touchscreen was a genuine step up for factory Harley infotainment, with a bigger display and easier menus than the radios that came before it - but Apple CarPlay and Android Auto simply weren't part of that generation, so turn-by-turn nav and phone audio still route through a wired aux cord or basic Bluetooth streaming at best.
Most riders solve that by dropping in an aftermarket CarPlay-capable radio - brands like SoundStream, Rockford Fosgate, Boss and Diamond Audio build head units sized for the Street Glide fairing that bring wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto onboard together, with no factory headset bypass required. Riders who'd rather keep a Harley-branded dash instead swap the Boom! Box for a 2019-2023 GTS head unit and add a HogPlay CarPlay bypass adaptor, which unlocks the GTS's factory CarPlay and USB port (Android Auto still needs to come from elsewhere on that path).
Whichever radio ends up in the fairing, a HogPlay Media Box layers on Android Auto plus Netflix, YouTube, YouTube Music and podcast streaming straight off an SD card or USB drive - no phone data required. A HogPlay USB Piglet is the compact route to Android Auto with Mirror Link or AirPlay screen mirroring, and for riders who want a dedicated bar-mounted display rather than upgrading the existing head unit, a HogPlay Media Screen is worth a look - though most riders with a factory radio already in the fairing choose to upgrade that unit instead.
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.
