For 2021 the Road Glide Special stepped up to the Milwaukee-Eight 114 behind its frame-mounted shark-nose fairing, still carrying the 7-inch Boom! Box GTS touchscreen. Factory Apple CarPlay runs wired through the inner-fairing USB-A, and Android Auto isn't offered. HogPlay's GTS bypass makes CarPlay wireless, and a Media Box or Piglet adds Android Auto and streaming apps — reversible, off the factory USB.
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.

The 2021 Road Glide Special gained the Milwaukee-Eight 114 while keeping the fixed shark-nose fairing that defines the model. Behind it sits Harley's Boom! Box GTS color touchscreen, with factory Apple CarPlay tethered to the inner-fairing USB-A and no usable Android Auto. HogPlay's GTS bypass makes CarPlay wireless on the stock screen, and a Media Box or Piglet brings Android Auto and streaming to the display — all through the factory USB, fully reversible.
2021 Harley-Davidson Road Glide Special CarPlay & Android Auto — FAQ
Does the 2021 Harley-Davidson Road Glide Special support wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto?
Yes. The 2021 Harley-Davidson Road Glide Special 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 Road Glide Special?
Android Auto on the 2021 Harley-Davidson Road Glide Special 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 Road Glide Special?
A HogPlay Media Box turns the 2021 Harley-Davidson Road Glide Special 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.

Do I need a bypass to add Android Auto to the 2021 Harley-Davidson Road Glide Special?
Indirectly, yes. The 2021 Harley-Davidson Road Glide Special 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.
