The 2021 CVO Road Glide leaned into darker, moodier finishes — schemes like Black Hole and Bronze Armor over the shark-nose fairing — while carrying forward the Milwaukee-Eight 117 and the 6.5-inch Boom! Box GTS touchscreen. That screen already knows Apple CarPlay, but the factory keeps it asleep until a paired headset checks in. HogPlay's Boom-era bypass clears that gate from the inner-fairing USB-A port, then a Media Box or Piglet adds wireless CarPlay, Android Auto and streaming apps through the CVO's speakers.
Headset Bypass Required
The factory Boom! Box GTS radio locks CarPlay behind a paired headset. A HogPlay headset bypass removes that so CarPlay and the USB port work without one — then a Media Box or Piglet adds wireless CarPlay, Android Auto and streaming apps.

For 2021 the CVO Road Glide's shark-nose fairing wore some of the line's darker paint options — Black Hole and Bronze Armor among them — over the same Milwaukee-Eight 117 and Boom! Box GTS setup as the year before. The 6.5-inch touchscreen pulls power and data through a USB-A port in the inner fairing.
Boom! Box GTS supports CarPlay out of the box, but only after a Bluetooth headset pairs. HogPlay's Boom-era bypass removes that requirement, letting a Media Box or Piglet add wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and streaming apps through the fairing and saddlebag speakers — plug-and-play, fully reversible.
2021 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide CarPlay & Android Auto — FAQ
Does the 2021 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide support wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto?
Yes. The 2021 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide factory Harley-Davidson Boom! Box GTS audio system supports Apple CarPlay; a plug-and-play headset HogPlay bypass unlocks it wireless, and a HogPlay Media Box or Piglet adds Android Auto, streaming and apps.
How do I get wireless Android Auto on the 2021 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide?
Android Auto on the 2021 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide needs CarPlay enabled first: a headset HogPlay bypass unlocks the factory Harley-Davidson Boom! Box GTS audio system, then a HogPlay Media Box or Piglet adds wireless Android Auto plus streaming apps. A bypass alone gives CarPlay; the Media Box adds Android Auto.
What apps and streaming can I run on the 2021 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide?
A HogPlay Media Box turns the 2021 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide into a full media center: Android Auto, Apple CarPlay plus Netflix, YouTube, maps and music. A Piglet adds wireless CarPlay and Android Auto in a smaller package.
Is the HogPlay install on the 2021 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide plug-and-play and reversible?
Yes. Every HogPlay upgrade for the 2021 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide is true plug-and-play — a simple electrical connection with no cutting, splicing or flashing, and it's fully reversible. Setup is easy; exactly how you reach the connector varies by bike (USB adaptors plug straight in, while some radio-mounted bypasses need brief fairing or radio access).
Do I need a bypass to add Android Auto to the 2021 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide?
Indirectly, yes. The 2021 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide factory Harley-Davidson Boom! Box GTS audio system keeps Apple CarPlay locked, so a headset HogPlay bypass is needed first — it unlocks wireless Apple CarPlay and is the gateway to Android Auto. The bypass alone doesn't add Android Auto; pair it with a HogPlay Media Box or Piglet to add wireless Android Auto and apps.
