The 2018 Tri Glide Ultra Anniversary pairs Harley's touring platform with a three-wheel chassis built for long, stable miles two-up or solo. That year's Boom! Box 6.5 GT gave riders a bright touchscreen and solid audio for its era, but it never came with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto — Harley didn't add that capability to the factory Boom! Box line until later years. HogPlay bridges that gap, adding wireless CarPlay and Android Auto to this trike without waiting on Harley to update the radio you already own.
No Factory CarPlay — GTS Swap or Aftermarket
The 2018 Harley-Davidson Tri Glide Ultra 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 Tri Glide Ultra Anniversary keeps its rider planted on three wheels, which means long touring days, group rides, and trailer-towing miles where a working navigation and music setup matters more than usual. The 2018 Boom! Box 6.5 GT was a genuinely nice touchscreen for its time, but it stops well short of wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto — those never shipped on this generation of Harley infotainment.
Most 2018 Tri Glide owners solve this by swapping in an aftermarket CarPlay head unit from a brand like SoundStream or Rockford Fosgate, both of which typically bring Apple CarPlay and Android Auto onboard in one unit — no separate phone-mirroring box required, and no headset bypass to fuss with since that wiring only matters on the stock Harley radio. If you'd rather keep a Harley-branded dash, the other route is retrofitting a 2019-2023 GTS head unit and adding a HogPlay CarPlay bypass adaptor, which unlocks the GTS's built-in CarPlay and USB port (Android Auto still needs to come from elsewhere on that path).
Whichever radio ends up in the dash, a HogPlay Media Box layers in Android Auto plus Netflix, YouTube, YouTube Music, and podcasts straight off an SD card or USB drive, no phone data burned on a long ride. Prefer to keep your phone in charge of Android Auto and just mirror the screen? A HogPlay USB Piglet adds Android Auto alongside Mirror Link and AirPlay screen mirroring. And if the Tri Glide's factory display isn't cutting it, a bar-mounted HogPlay Media Screen is worth a look — though once you've already got a new head unit in the dash, most riders find upgrading that radio does more for them than adding a second screen.
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.
