Harley-Davidson Harman/Kardon Advanced Audio
From 2006 to 2013, Harley-Davidson touring models ran the Harman/Kardon Advanced Audio system — a real step up in factory sound quality. As good as it sounded, it has no touchscreen, no Apple CarPlay and no Android Auto, so your phone's maps and apps can't run on it.
The path to wireless CarPlay and Android Auto is an aftermarket CarPlay radio — SoundStream, Rockford Fosgate, Boss, Diamond Audio or Aquatic AV. Add a HogPlay Media Box for Netflix, YouTube and streaming apps, and a HogPlay Piglet for Mirror Link and AirPlay. No headset bypass required on the aftermarket path. A bar-mounted HogPlay Media Screen is an alternative if you'd rather not swap the radio.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Harley-Davidson Harman/Kardon Advanced Audio system?
The Harman/Kardon Advanced Audio system (factory part 76160-06) is the premium factory sound upgrade Harley-Davidson offered on 2006–2013 touring models — better speakers and amplification than the base radio, but still a pre-touchscreen unit with no Apple CarPlay or Android Auto built in.
Does the Harman/Kardon Advanced Audio radio have a touchscreen?
No. This 2006–2013 unit uses physical buttons and a small display, not a touchscreen — it was built years before Harley added CarPlay to the Boom! Box GTS lineup in 2014.
Is the Harman/Kardon Advanced Audio radio the same as the Boom! Box GTS?
No. The Harman/Kardon system (part 76160-06, 2006–2013) predates the Boom! Box GTS by several years — the GTS is the later factory radio that introduced Apple CarPlay, and it doesn’t appear until 2014.
What years and models does the Harman/Kardon Advanced Audio radio fit?
Part 76160-06 was installed on 2006–2013 Harley-Davidson touring models — Electra Glide, Street Glide, Road Glide, and Road King — as the factory premium-sound option during that era.
How do I know if my bike has this radio and not the base unit?
Check your factory radio’s part number against 76160-06, or look for Harman/Kardon branding on the faceplate — it was the premium sound tier over that era’s base radio, sold as an option on the same 2006–2013 touring models.
I'm not sure which radio my Harley has — can you help me check?
Yes — use our fitment finder and enter your year, make, and model to confirm exactly which factory radio your bike shipped with before you shop a solution.
Does the Harman/Kardon Advanced Audio radio have Apple CarPlay?
No. This 2006–2013 factory unit was built before Apple CarPlay existed on Harley radios — it has no CarPlay hardware or software, and there’s no firmware update that adds it.
Does this radio support Android Auto?
No. Like Apple CarPlay, Android Auto isn’t present on the Harman/Kardon Advanced Audio unit — it’s a pre-smartphone-integration factory radio, full stop.
More questions (15)
Can I add a HogPlay CarPlay bypass to this radio?
No. A bypass unlocks CarPlay that’s already built into a factory radio — like the 2019+ Boom! Box GTS — but the Harman/Kardon unit never had CarPlay to begin with, so there’s nothing on this radio for a bypass to switch on.
Will a HogPlay Piglet work directly with this factory radio?
Not on its own. A Piglet adds Android Auto to an existing CarPlay-capable radio’s USB port, and the Harman/Kardon unit doesn’t have that CarPlay foundation or a compatible USB input — you’d need an aftermarket CarPlay radio or a HogPlay Media Screen first.
Can I plug a HogPlay Media Box straight into this radio?
No, not by itself. The Media Box streams Netflix, YouTube, and music through a CarPlay-capable head unit’s USB connection — since this factory radio has no CarPlay and no compatible USB port, you’d add an aftermarket radio or Media Screen first, then the Media Box on top of that.
So how do I get Apple CarPlay on a bike with the Harman/Kardon Advanced Audio radio?
You have two honest paths: swap in an aftermarket CarPlay head unit that replaces this radio outright, or keep your factory Harman/Kardon unit and add a bar-mounted HogPlay Media Screen for wireless CarPlay alongside it.
What aftermarket radio brands work in place of the Harman/Kardon unit?
SoundStream, Rockford Fosgate, Boss, Diamond Audio, and Aquatic AV all make CarPlay-ready head units built to replace a 2006–2013 touring radio — browse them all at /pages/aftermarket-radios.
Which aftermarket brands add native Android Auto, not just CarPlay?
SoundStream and Diamond Audio build Android Auto in natively alongside wireless Apple CarPlay — on Aquatic AV, Boss, or Rockford Fosgate units, a HogPlay Piglet adds Android Auto after the swap.
What's the HogPlay Media Screen option, and how is it different from a radio swap?
The Media Screen bolts to your handlebar or fairing and adds a wireless Apple CarPlay display without touching your factory Harman/Kardon radio — you keep your original sound system and controls untouched. See /collections/hogplay-media-screens.
If I add a Media Screen, do I lose my Harman/Kardon sound quality?
No — the Media Screen runs alongside your factory radio for navigation, calls, and CarPlay apps, while your Harman/Kardon amp and speakers keep handling audio playback the same way they always have.
Once I install an aftermarket CarPlay radio, can I then add a Media Box?
Yes — once your bike has a CarPlay-capable head unit, a HogPlay Media Box plugs into its USB port to add Netflix, YouTube, YouTube Music, podcasts, and SD/USB playback on top.
Once I have a CarPlay radio or Media Screen, what does a Piglet add?
A HogPlay Piglet adds Android Auto, Mirror Link, and AirPlay screen mirroring to a radio or Media Screen that already has CarPlay — useful if you’re running an Android phone or want a passenger to mirror content.
Could I upgrade to a Boom! Box GTS instead of an aftermarket brand?
Some riders swap a 2014–2018 Boom! Box GTS head unit into their touring bike and then run a GTS Bypass to unlock its factory CarPlay — it’s a heavier install than a Media Screen, but it puts a genuine factory Harley touchscreen in your dash.
Should I keep my factory Harman/Kardon radio with a Media Screen, or swap to a full aftermarket unit?
Keep-and-add with a Media Screen is the faster, lower-disruption route if you like your Harman/Kardon sound and just want CarPlay added — a full aftermarket swap makes more sense if you also want a bigger touchscreen, native Android Auto, or updated amplification in one package.
Is a Media Screen or an aftermarket radio easier to install on a 2006-2013 touring bike?
A Media Screen is typically the simpler install since it mounts externally and doesn’t require pulling your factory Harman/Kardon head unit — a full aftermarket radio swap involves removing the original unit and running new wiring into the fairing.
I ride a 2011 Street Glide with the Harman/Kardon system and just want turn-by-turn on my dash — what's the simplest fix?
A HogPlay Media Screen is the simplest route — mount it, pair your phone, and you get wireless Apple CarPlay navigation without pulling your factory radio or rewiring your fairing.
I want the whole package — CarPlay, Android Auto, and streaming apps — on a bike with this factory radio. What's the full build?
Start with an aftermarket CarPlay radio from SoundStream or Diamond Audio for native Android Auto, then add a Media Box for streaming apps — that combination replaces the Harman/Kardon unit with a modern, fully connected setup.
