The PMX-HD14 is Rockford Fosgate's Harley touring infotainment source unit — an aftermarket head unit that replaces the factory radio, using factory mounting points, OEM electrical connectors and supplied trim panels. Rockford Fosgate lists it as fitting select 2014-2023 Harley-Davidson models; check their compatibility chart against your bike before ordering, as exact years vary by model.

It runs Apple CarPlay. It does not do Android Auto — Rockford Fosgate's own spec sheet says so plainly, and it is one of the few units we sell where that gap exists. Factory thumb controls carry over with no additional parts, and the unit supports CB and wireless headset connectivity. Wired intercom headsets on Ultra models need a 'push to talk' interface.

What HogPlay adds to your PMX-HD14

The PMX-HD14 does Apple CarPlay but not Android Auto. A HogPlay USB Piglet adds it — closing a gap the radio itself has.

A Media Box goes further and adds Netflix, YouTube and other streaming apps to the screen you already have.

A bypass adaptor doesn't apply to a Rockford Fosgate unit: a bypass unlocks a factory CarPlay radio, and yours has already replaced it.

What each part does

USB Piglets

A USB Piglet plugs into the head unit's USB port and adds Mirror Link and AirCast screen mirroring — mirroring your phone's actual screen to the dash, which no head unit does on its own. On the PMX-HD14 it also adds Android Auto, which this unit does not have natively (it does CarPlay only).

Media Boxes

A Media Box adds Netflix, YouTube and other streaming apps to the PMX-HD14, running them on the screen you already have.

Why there's no bypass adaptor here

A bypass adaptor unlocks a factory CarPlay head unit. Once a Rockford Fosgate PMX-HD14 is installed there's no factory radio left to unlock — the PMX-HD14 already does CarPlay itself. What HogPlay adds on top is screen mirroring and streaming, not activation.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly is the Rockford Fosgate PMX-HD14?

The PMX-HD14 is Rockford Fosgate’s plug-and-play digital media receiver for select 2014–2023 Harley-Davidson touring models, built around a 7″ color TFT touchscreen you can run with riding gloves on.

How big is the PMX-HD14 screen, and does it work with gloves?

You get a 7″ color TFT touchscreen sized to fill the factory dash opening, and Rockford Fosgate built the touch layer to respond through riding gloves — no need to strip a glove off at a stoplight to change a station.

Which Harley-Davidson models does the PMX-HD14 fit?

The PMX-HD14 is a plug-and-play fit for select 2014–2023 Harley-Davidson touring models — exact model/year coverage varies, so use our fitment finder to confirm your specific bike before you buy.

Does the PMX-HD14 fit a 2024 or newer Road Glide?

No — the PMX-HD14 is built for 2014–2023 touring models. 2024-and-newer Skyline-platform bikes are not supported by this unit; check the fitment finder for the right option on a Skyline bike.

Does the PMX-HD14 have Apple CarPlay?

Yes — the PMX-HD14 has native Apple CarPlay built in, so you plug in your iPhone and it works with no bypass box and no extra hardware.

Do I need a bypass to run CarPlay on this radio?

No. Unlike a locked factory Harley-Davidson radio, the PMX-HD14 is an aftermarket head unit with CarPlay built in natively — there’s no bypass step involved for CarPlay at all.

Does the PMX-HD14 support Android Auto?

Not natively — Rockford Fosgate’s own spec sheet states the PMX-HD14 does not include Android Auto out of the box. Riders who need it add a HogPlay Piglet, which brings Android Auto to this radio.

Can I get screen mirroring or AirPlay on the PMX-HD14?

Not natively — the PMX-HD14 doesn’t include screen mirroring or AirPlay on its own. A HogPlay Piglet adds Android Mirror Link and Apple AirPlay to this same screen.

More questions (14)

What’s the difference between what’s built in and what HogPlay adds?

The PMX-HD14 comes with native wireless Apple CarPlay out of the box. Everything else — Android Auto, Android Mirror Link, and Apple AirPlay — comes from adding a HogPlay Piglet alongside it.

Can I stream Netflix or YouTube on the PMX-HD14?

Not on its own — the PMX-HD14’s built-in features are radio, Bluetooth audio and CarPlay. A HogPlay Media Box adds Netflix, YouTube, YouTube Music, podcasts, and SD-card or USB-drive playback on the same screen.

What does a HogPlay Media Box add to this radio?

Paired with the PMX-HD14, a HogPlay Media Box unlocks streaming apps like Netflix, YouTube and YouTube Music, plus podcasts and offline SD-card or USB playback — content the factory feature set doesn’t touch.

Is the PMX-HD14 a plug-and-play install?

Yes — the PMX-HD14 connects with your bike’s OEM electrical connectors, so there’s no cutting or splicing to get it wired into a compatible 2014–2023 touring model.

Will I lose my factory thumb controls or CB after installing this radio?

No — the PMX-HD14 retains your factory handlebar thumb controls, CB, and wireless headset connection, so switching head units doesn’t cost you the controls you already know.

Can I still use a wired intercom headset on my Ultra with this radio?

Wireless headsets work directly with the PMX-HD14, but a wired intercom headset on Ultra models needs a push-to-talk interface added alongside it — plan for that piece if your setup relies on a wired headset.

What audio power does the PMX-HD14 put out?

The PMX-HD14 is rated at 25W x4 @4ohm, with up to 50W x4 @2ohm, and includes a 14-band graphic EQ so you can dial in tone for wind noise and helmet speakers.

What is Street Party Mode on the PMX-HD14?

Street Party Mode lets a PMX-HD14 broadcast the same song to up to 8 other PMX-HD14 radios within about 100 ft — handy for keeping a whole group ride on the same soundtrack at a stop.

Does the PMX-HD14 use Bluetooth for phone calls and music?

Yes — it runs Bluetooth 5.0 with A2DP for streaming audio, on top of its native Apple CarPlay connection for calls, messages, and navigation.

How is the PMX-HD14 better than my stock Harley radio?

Where a factory Harley-Davidson radio may be locked out of phone features entirely, the PMX-HD14 replaces it outright with native wireless Apple CarPlay, a glove-friendly 7″ touchscreen, and a 14-band EQ — and a Piglet or Media Box can extend it further.

How does the PMX-HD14 compare to an Aquatic AV radio?

Both are aftermarket replacements with native CarPlay and no native Android Auto out of the box, so the choice usually comes down to fitment and features for your bike — see the Aquatic AV hub alongside Rockford Fosgate’s to compare.

I ride solo and just want reliable CarPlay — is the PMX-HD14 enough?

For an iPhone rider who wants navigation, calls, and music through native CarPlay on a glove-friendly touchscreen, the PMX-HD14 covers that on its own with no add-ons needed.

I ride with a group on Androids and iPhones — what do I need?

The PMX-HD14 handles the iPhone riders natively; for Android Auto on the same unit, add a HogPlay Piglet so everyone in the group gets phone integration off the same head unit.

I want to watch or stream video during long stops on tour — can this radio do that?

Not by itself — add a HogPlay Media Box to the PMX-HD14 to bring in Netflix, YouTube, and other streaming apps for downtime at a campground or hotel stop.

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.
