Aquatic AV radios we cover
- Aquatic AV HR400 — Harley-Davidson 2014-2023
Because an Aquatic AV unit replaces the factory radio, a bypass adaptor doesn't apply — there's no factory head unit left to unlock. What HogPlay adds instead: USB Piglets bring Mirror Link and AirCast screen mirroring, which no head unit does on its own, and Media Boxes add Netflix, YouTube and other streaming apps to your dash.

About Aquatic AV
Aquatic AV was founded in 2005 by CEO Bob Fils, who saw that ordinary audio-visual equipment could not survive the environment of spas and hot tubs. Rather than adapt an existing car stereo to the job, Fils built purpose-made units from the ground up, using premium components and marine-grade stainless steel. Waterproofing was the starting point of the design, not a coating applied at the end.
That expertise turned out to travel. As the company puts it, they recognised their know-how could solve audio problems well beyond the hot tub, and the range widened into marine, powersports, ATVs, golf carts and motorcycles. Aquatic AV now lists over 100 products and more than 700 dealer and distributor locations. Their gear is built for harsh conditions: high IP and IPX water and dust ratings, UV-resistant materials, and conformal-coated circuit boards meant to shrug off heavy rain, salt fog and long hours in direct sun.
The Harley-Davidson line is where most riders meet the brand. Aquatic AV says its Harley systems have earned widespread acclaim. The motorcycle catalogue runs from the MP5 and MP5+ replacement stereos up to the HR400 touchscreen head unit, alongside RGB speakers, saddlebag kits and amplifiers. The through-line is the same one the company started with in 2005 — a unit engineered for weather from the outset, fitted to a bike that lives outdoors.
Frequently asked questions
Who is Aquatic AV and why do riders choose them?
Aquatic AV has built waterproof audio and video gear since 2005, starting in spa and marine markets before bringing that same weatherproofing know–how to powersports — so its Harley–Davidson head units carry high IP ratings and conformal–coated boards built to shrug off rain, wash–downs, and vibration.
Which Aquatic AV head unit fits my Harley?
Aquatic AV’s Harley line currently runs to the HR400 ULTRA, a 7″ touchscreen unit built for 2014–2023 Street Glide/Ultra, 2015–2023 Road Glide, and 2015–2024 Tri Glide Ultra/Road Glide 3 — see the HR400 ULTRA page for full fitment, or run your bike through our fitment finder to confirm.
Is the HR400 ULTRA the only Aquatic AV option for Harleys?
Right now, yes — the HR400 ULTRA is Aquatic AV’s sole Harley–Davidson head unit, covering Street Glide, Road Glide, and Tri Glide models across the years listed on its page; if your bike falls outside that range, our fitment finder will point you to a unit that does fit.
Does Aquatic AV have Apple CarPlay?
Yes — every Aquatic AV Harley head unit, including the HR400 ULTRA, comes with native wireless Apple CarPlay built in, so your iPhone connects automatically once it’s installed.
Does Aquatic AV have Android Auto?
No — Aquatic AV’s Harley units are CarPlay–only from the factory, with no native Android Auto and no native screen mirroring or AirPlay; a HogPlay Piglet adds all three.
What does HogPlay add to an Aquatic AV head unit?
A HogPlay Piglet brings Android Auto, Mirror Link, and Apple AirPlay to any Aquatic AV unit — plus wireless CarPlay if you’d rather skip the cable — and a Media Box layers in streaming apps like Netflix and YouTube for parked–bike viewing.
Can I run both a Piglet and a Media Box on the same Aquatic AV unit?
Does an Aquatic AV install need a bypass or unlock?
No — Aquatic AV units are aftermarket head units that replace your factory radio outright, so there’s no GTS unlock or bypass box involved; installation is a direct swap into the OEM dash opening.
More questions (6)
Will an Aquatic AV head unit fit my 2024+ Harley with the new Skyline dash?
No — 2024 and newer Skyline–platform touring models run a sealed A2B digital audio bus with no aftermarket drop–in path, so Aquatic AV (like every other aftermarket brand) doesn’t offer a unit for those bikes; check the fitment finder to confirm which platform your bike sits on.
Will an Aquatic AV unit fit my OEM Harley dash without cutting or fabrication?
Yes — the HR400 ULTRA is built to the OEM dash opening for its supported Street Glide, Road Glide, and Tri Glide years, so it mounts using the factory opening and existing wiring points without cutting the fairing.
How does Aquatic AV compare to other aftermarket Harley radio brands?
Aquatic AV’s edge is weatherproofing heritage — IP–rated housings and conformal–coated boards built from its marine and spa roots — while brands like SoundStream add native Android Auto out of the box; either way, a Piglet closes the Android gap on Aquatic AV, and the fitment finder will show every brand that fits your specific bike.
How weatherproof is Aquatic AV gear, and does that matter for a motorcycle?
Very — Aquatic AV designs to marine and powersports IP standards, meaning the HR400 ULTRA is built to handle rain, wash–downs, and constant vibration, which matters more on an open–air Harley dash than in a car.
Do all Aquatic AV Harley units install the same way?
Yes — every model in the line follows the same OEM–dash mounting and factory–harness approach, so the install process, and any HogPlay Piglet or Media Box pairing, is consistent across the range even as year and model coverage expands.
I’m not sure which head unit or accessory I need — where do I start?
Start with the fitment finder and enter your year, make, and model — it’ll confirm whether the HR400 ULTRA fits your bike and flag whether you’ll want a Piglet, a Media Box, or both.
Ride safe: on-screen video is for parked viewing only — never watch video while the motorcycle is in motion. Music, audio and navigation are made for the road.
