The WHD.9813 is Soundstream's upgrade head unit for the 1998-2013 Harley-Davidson touring series. It replaces the factory radio and installs into the OEM fairing using factory mounting hardware and the original AM/FM antenna — no brackets or antenna adapters. The display is a 7.7in HD widescreen Quantum Film LCD with a capacitive touchscreen.

Phone projection is already handled by the unit itself. HogPlay's USB Piglet adds Mirror Link and AirCast screen mirroring, and a Media Box adds streaming apps. A bypass adaptor is for factory CarPlay radios and has no role once a WHD.9813 is fitted.

What HogPlay adds to your WHD.9813

Your WHD.9813 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 WHD.9813, 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 WHD.9813 is installed there's no factory radio left to unlock — the WHD.9813 already does CarPlay itself. What HogPlay adds on top is screen mirroring and streaming, not activation.

Frequently asked questions

What is the SoundStream WHD.9813?

The WHD.9813 is a SoundStream Reserve plug-n-play head unit built for 1998–2013 Harley-Davidson touring bikes, with a 7.7″ HD Quantum Film LCD capacitive touchscreen that drops into your factory fairing opening using OEM mounting hardware — no brackets or antenna adapters.

How big is the WHD.9813 screen, and is it a true touchscreen?

You get a 7.7″ HD Quantum Film LCD display with full capacitive touch — no resistive lag, just tap-and-go control over navigation, audio and phone functions, and it stays readable in direct sunlight.

Will the WHD.9813 fit my 1998–2013 Harley-Davidson touring bike?

The WHD.9813 is our general 1998–2013 Harley-Davidson touring option, dropping into the stock fairing with the factory mounting hardware and your original AM/FM antenna. Road Glide and Street Glide/Ultra riders have dedicated cuts (the WHDRG and WHDSG); for any other 98–13 touring model, run your exact bike through the fitment finder to confirm.

I ride a 2014-or-newer Harley-Davidson touring bike — is this the right unit?

No — the WHD.9813 is built for 1998–2013 bikes only. For a 2014–2023 Harley-Davidson touring model, look at the WHD14+ instead, or use our fitment finder to confirm your exact year.

My bike is a 1998–2013 Road Glide — should I get the WHD.9813 or something else?

For a Road Glide we’d point you to the WHDRG, which is cut specifically for the Road Glide fairing. The WHD.9813 is the general 1998–2013 touring option, so a Road Glide rider is better matched to the model-specific WHDRG — the fitment finder will confirm.

What about a 1998–2013 Street Glide or Ultra?

For a 1998–2013 Street Glide or Ultra, the WHDSG is cut specifically for that fairing. The WHD.9813 covers general 98–13 touring fitment, so a Street Glide or Ultra rider is the tighter match for the WHDSG — confirm your exact bike with the fitment finder.

Does the WHD.9813 fit a 2024-or-newer Skyline touring bike?

No. Skyline-era 2024+ Harley-Davidson touring bikes run a digital A2B audio bus with no aftermarket drop-in head unit available, so the WHD.9813 — like every SoundStream Reserve unit — does not fit a Skyline bike.

Does the WHD.9813 have wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto built in?

Yes — the WHD.9813 has native wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto built into the head unit itself, so there’s nothing extra to add just to get phone mirroring on your 7.7″ screen.

More questions (12)

Do I need a HogPlay bypass to run CarPlay on the WHD.9813?

No. A bypass only unlocks CarPlay on a factory Harley-Davidson radio. The WHD.9813 is an aftermarket Reserve unit with CarPlay and Android Auto already native, so there’s no headset requirement and no bypass to buy.

What does a HogPlay Piglet add to the WHD.9813 if CarPlay is already built in?

A HogPlay Piglet adds Mirror Link and AirCast/AirPlay screen mirroring — something no SoundStream Reserve unit does on its own — so you can cast video or a second app straight to the WHD.9813’s 7.7″ display.

Can I watch Netflix or YouTube on the WHD.9813?

Not natively — the WHD.9813 handles audio, navigation and phone mirroring. Add a HogPlay Media Box and you get Netflix, YouTube, YouTube Music, podcasts and SD-card or USB-drive playback on the same 7.7″ screen.

Is the WHD.9813 a plug-n-play install?

Yes — the WHD.9813 drops into the factory fairing location using your bike’s original mounting hardware, stock AM/FM antenna and OEM USB, with no brackets, trim rings or antenna adapters required.

Will I lose my handlebar radio controls after installing the WHD.9813?

No — the WHD.9813 retains your factory handlebar controls, so volume, track and mode buttons keep working exactly as they did with the stock Harley-Davidson radio.

What kind of amp and EQ does the WHD.9813 have?

It runs a Class A/B 4-channel amp at 2 ohms with a 15-band EQ, two custom memory presets and genre presets, plus adjustable crossovers and low-pass/subsonic filtering if you’re running a sub.

Is the WHD.9813 weatherproof for riding in the rain?

Yes — the WHD.9813 carries an IPX5 water-resistance rating, built for the weather a touring fairing sees out on the road.

Does the WHD.9813 support GPS navigation or SiriusXM?

Navigation runs through wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto using your phone’s maps app, and SiriusXM comes through that same phone connection if you subscribe on your device.

How does the WHD.9813 compare to my stock Harley radio?

Your factory Harley-Davidson radio needs a paired headset and a bypass just to unlock CarPlay; the WHD.9813 replaces it outright with native wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, a sharper 7.7″ capacitive screen and a stronger 4-channel amp — no headset, no bypass.

What’s the difference between the WHD.9813 and the WHDRG or WHDSG?

The WHD.9813 is the general-fit option for 1998–2013 touring bikes, while the WHDRG and WHDSG are cut specifically for the Road Glide and Street Glide/Ultra fairings. All three are SoundStream Reserve units with the same native wireless CarPlay and Android Auto — match the model to your exact bike with the fitment finder.

Why choose SoundStream over a generic aftermarket head unit?

SoundStream has built car and moto audio since 1976 and holds 90+ industry awards; the Reserve line is engineered to drop into the Harley-Davidson factory location using OEM hardware and your original antenna, rather than being a universal unit forced into the fairing.

I just want turn-by-turn directions and music without fussing with a bypass — is this it?

Yes — connect your phone once and the WHD.9813 gives you wireless CarPlay or Android Auto for navigation, music and calls right away, with no headset pairing and no bypass step involved.

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.
