The 2018 Ultra Limited Anniversary paired Harley's full touring fairing and hard bags with the Boom! Box 6.5 GT - a bright, glove-friendly touchscreen that was genuinely impressive for its year. What it never had was Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, so turn-by-turn and music still routed through Bluetooth audio and a phone in your pocket. HogPlay closes that gap, adding wireless CarPlay and Android Auto to the bike you already own.
No Factory CarPlay — GTS Swap or Aftermarket
The 2018 Harley-Davidson Ultra Limited 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 Ultra Limited Anniversary carries Harley's full touring package - fairing, lowers, hard bags, and a Boom! Box 6.5 GT that was one of the more capable touchscreen units on the road that year. It just never got Apple CarPlay or Android Auto from the factory, so mapping and music still meant Bluetooth streaming and glancing at your phone instead of a proper CarPlay screen.
Most riders solve that one of two ways. The straightforward route is an aftermarket CarPlay head unit from a brand like SoundStream or Rockford Fosgate, which typically brings wireless CarPlay and Android Auto onboard in the same box - no separate CarPlay bypass adaptor required, and no headset bypass either since that's only a factory-radio workaround. The other route is swapping the 6.5 GT for a 2019-2023 GTS head unit and adding a HogPlay CarPlay bypass adaptor to unlock the GTS's factory CarPlay and USB port - a clean path if you'd rather keep Harley's own screen and menus.
Either way, a HogPlay Media Box layers in Android Auto plus Netflix, YouTube, YouTube Music, and podcasts, playing straight off an SD card or USB drive with no phone data burned. Prefer a mirroring setup instead? A HogPlay USB Piglet adds Android Auto along with Mirror Link and AirPlay screen mirroring. And if you'd rather add a screen than replace one, a bar-mounted HogPlay Media Screen is worth a look - though with a factory head unit already in the fairing, most 2018 Ultra Limited Anniversary owners get more mileage out of upgrading the radio itself.
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.
