The SG-V2 is the Reserve head unit for 1998-2013 Harley-Davidson Street Glide and Ultra models. It is a direct plug-n-play replacement for the factory radio, dropping into the original fairing opening with no brackets, trim rings or antenna adapters, and it carries an 8.3in 1000NIT widescreen LCD. It is SiriusXM-ready and works with an iDataLink Maestro RR or RR2 module for CANBUS integration and digital gauges.
CarPlay and Android Auto are wireless and built in. A HogPlay USB Piglet adds Mirror Link and AirCast screen mirroring; a Media Box adds Netflix, YouTube and other streaming apps. A bypass adaptor does not apply to an aftermarket unit like this one.
What HogPlay adds to your SG-V2
Your SG-V2 already does wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, so you don't need us for that. What it can't do is stream: a HogPlay Media Box adds Netflix, YouTube and other apps straight to the screen that's already on your bike.
A USB Piglet adds Mirror Link and AirCast screen mirroring — putting your phone's actual screen on the dash, which no head unit does on its own.
A bypass adaptor doesn't apply to a SoundStream 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.
Media Boxes
A Media Box adds Netflix, YouTube and other streaming apps to the SG-V2, 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 SoundStream SG-V2 is installed there's no factory radio left to unlock — the SG-V2 already does CarPlay itself. What HogPlay adds on top is screen mirroring and streaming, not activation.

Frequently asked questions
What is the SoundStream SG-V2?
The SG-V2 is SoundStream’s Reserve-line plug-n-play head unit for 1998–2013 Harley-Davidson Street Glide and Ultra models, built around a big 8.3″ 1000-NIT widescreen HD display. It drops straight into the factory fairing opening — no brackets or adapters — and, like every SoundStream Reserve unit, has wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto built right in.
Which Harley-Davidson models does the SG-V2 fit?
The SG-V2 is cut specifically for the 1998–2013 Harley-Davidson Street Glide and Ultra fairing. If you ride a Road Glide from those years the WHDRG is your unit instead, and any 2014-or-newer touring bike moves to the V2 — run your year and model through the fitment finder if you’re unsure.
How big is the SG-V2 screen?
The SG-V2 carries a full 8.3″ 1000-NIT widescreen HD LCD — noticeably larger and brighter than the small factory screen it replaces on a 98–13 Street Glide, and sized to fill that fairing opening. The high-NIT panel is built to stay readable in direct sunlight.
Does the SG-V2 have Apple CarPlay?
Yes — wireless Apple CarPlay is built into the SG-V2, with no headset pairing and no bypass required. Because it’s an aftermarket SoundStream head unit there’s no factory radio lock left to unlock; your iPhone connects straight to the 8.3″ screen.
Does the SG-V2 have Android Auto?
Yes — wireless Android Auto is native to the SG-V2, right alongside wireless CarPlay, so an Android phone projects to the 8.3″ screen with nothing extra to buy. That’s the big contrast with a factory Harley radio, which gates CarPlay behind a paired headset.
Do I need a bypass for the SG-V2?
No. A bypass only exists to unlock a factory Harley radio, and the SG-V2 replaces that radio entirely — there’s nothing to bypass. Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto are already in the unit, so you plug it into the 98–13 Street Glide fairing and they work.
What does a HogPlay Piglet add to the SG-V2?
The SG-V2 already has CarPlay and Android Auto, so a HogPlay Piglet is what you add for Mirror Link and AirCast/AirPlay screen mirroring — casting your phone’s actual screen to the 8.3″ display, which no head unit does on its own.
What does a HogPlay Media Box add to the SG-V2?
Add a HogPlay Media Box when you want Netflix, YouTube, YouTube Music, podcasts and other streaming apps on the SG-V2’s 8.3″ screen, plus playback from an SD card or USB drive. It plugs into the head unit you already have — the SG-V2 supplies the CarPlay and Android Auto, the Media Box adds the apps.
More questions (11)
How hard is the SG-V2 to install?
The SG-V2 is a direct plug-n-play fit for the 1998–2013 Street Glide and Ultra fairing — it seats in the factory opening with OEM-style mounting and no brackets, trim rings or antenna adapters. Most riders treat it as a straight swap for the factory head unit.
Does the SG-V2 work with the iDataLink Maestro?
Yes — the SG-V2 works with the iDataLink Maestro RR/RR2, which ties into your Harley’s CANBUS so the 8.3″ screen can show digital gauges and retain vehicle data alongside CarPlay and Android Auto.
Do I keep my factory handlebar controls with the SG-V2?
Yes. Like every SoundStream Reserve unit, the SG-V2 keeps your factory handlebar controls and uses the bike’s original AM/FM antenna and OEM USB, so you don’t lose the thumb switches you already ride with.
Is the SG-V2 SiriusXM-ready?
The SG-V2 is SiriusXM-ready — add a compatible SXV tuner and antenna and satellite radio runs right on the 8.3″ screen, alongside AM/FM, Bluetooth, CarPlay and Android Auto.
What are the SG-V2’s audio specs?
The SG-V2 runs a 200 W Class D amp section that’s 2-ohm stable with 5 V RCA pre-outs and a 15-band EQ, so it can drive upgraded speakers or an outboard amp and still be tuned precisely for wind and road noise.
Does the SG-V2 have built-in navigation?
Yes — the SG-V2 ships with NNG iGO Primo navigation preloaded, so turn-by-turn maps run on the 8.3″ screen without a phone. You can still use Google or Apple Maps through the built-in wireless CarPlay or Android Auto whenever you prefer.
How is the SG-V2 different from my factory 98–13 radio?
The factory 98–13 Street Glide radio has a small screen and no CarPlay at all; the SG-V2 swaps it for an 8.3″ display with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto built in, plus a stronger amp and preloaded nav — while keeping your handlebar controls and factory antenna.
I ride a 98–13 Road Glide — is the SG-V2 right for me?
The SG-V2 is cut for the Street Glide and Ultra fairing, not the Road Glide’s shark-nose. For a 1998–2013 Road Glide, the WHDRG is the SoundStream unit shaped for your fairing — same native wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, cut for the right bike.
Will the SG-V2 fit my 2014-or-newer touring bike?
No — the SG-V2 fits 1998–2013 Street Glide and Ultra only. A 2014-or-newer touring bike steps up to the V2 (or the WHD14+ for 2014–2023), and 2024+ Skyline bikes have no aftermarket drop-in yet. The fitment finder will point you to the right one.
My 98–13 touring bike isn’t a Street Glide or Ultra — what do I get?
The SG-V2 is the Street Glide / Ultra-specific cut for 1998–2013. If your 98–13 touring bike is a different model, the WHD.9813 covers the general 98–13 touring fitment — confirm yours on the fitment finder so you order the unit cut for your fairing.
Why choose the SG-V2 over another head unit?
SoundStream has built car and powersports audio since 1976 and its head units have earned 90+ industry awards; the SG-V2 sits in the premium Reserve line, purpose-cut to drop into a 98–13 Street Glide or Ultra with the big 8.3″ screen. If you’re deciding between models, the fitment finder matches the right one to your exact bike.
