Harley-Davidson Boom! Box 6.5 GT
The Boom! Box 6.5 GT was Harley-Davidson's premium infotainment on 2014–2018 higher trims — a 6.5-inch color touchscreen with GPS navigation. It was genuinely capable for its era, but despite the touchscreen it has no factory Apple CarPlay or Android Auto (that arrived with the 2019 GTS), and the HogPlay GTS Bypass does not fit the 2014–2018 6.5 GT.
Two ways to add wireless CarPlay and Android Auto: (1) swap to a 2019–2023 Boom! Box GTS and add a HogPlay GTS Bypass; or (2) fit an aftermarket CarPlay radio — SoundStream, Rockford Fosgate, Boss, Diamond Audio or Aquatic AV. Either way a HogPlay Media Box unleashes Netflix, YouTube and streaming, and a HogPlay Piglet adds Mirror Link and AirPlay.
Frequently asked questions
Does the Boom! Box 6.5 GT have factory Apple CarPlay or Android Auto?
No. Despite its 6.5-inch touchscreen and navigation, the 2014–2018 Boom! Box 6.5 GT (factory part 76000076) has no factory Apple CarPlay and no Android Auto — factory CarPlay arrived with the 2019 GTS — and the HogPlay GTS Bypass does not fit the 14–18 6.5 GT.
What are my Apple CarPlay and Android Auto options for the 6.5 GT?
Two paths: (1) swap to a 2019–2023 Boom! Box GTS and add a HogPlay GTS Bypass to unlock its factory CarPlay + USB, then a Piglet or Media Box for Android Auto; or (2) fit an aftermarket CarPlay radio (SoundStream, Rockford Fosgate, Boss, Diamond Audio or Aquatic AV) — most include CarPlay and Android Auto built in.
Do I need a bypass for the Boom! Box 6.5 GT?
Not for the 14–18 6.5 GT — it has no factory CarPlay to unlock, and the GTS Bypass does not fit it stock. The bypass only applies once you swap to a 2019–2023 GTS; the aftermarket path needs none.
How do I add Android Auto, Netflix and YouTube to the 6.5 GT?
Will a Piglet or Media Box work on my stock 6.5 GT?
No — the touchscreen has no CarPlay USB path for them. They work after a GTS swap (with bypass) or an aftermarket CarPlay radio.
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.
