The WHDRG is the Reserve plug-n-play head unit cut specifically for the 1998-2013 Harley-Davidson Road Glide. It replaces the factory radio, retains the OEM mounting hardware and the original AM/FM antenna, and ships with a 26in USB cable so you can route it to either side of the fairing.
Wireless CarPlay and wireless Android Auto come as standard on the unit. A HogPlay USB Piglet adds Mirror Link and AirCast screen mirroring; a Media Box adds Netflix, YouTube and other streaming apps. Bypass adaptors do not apply — there is no factory radio left to unlock.
What HogPlay adds to your WHDRG
Your WHDRG 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 WHDRG, 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 WHDRG is installed there's no factory radio left to unlock — the WHDRG already does CarPlay itself. What HogPlay adds on top is screen mirroring and streaming, not activation.

Frequently asked questions
What is the SoundStream WHDRG?
The WHDRG is SoundStream’s Reserve-line plug-n-play head unit built specifically for 1998–2013 Harley-Davidson Road Glide models, with a bright 7″ QLCD capacitive touchscreen and RGB illumination that drops straight into the factory dash location.
Does the WHDRG screen match the factory Road Glide dash?
Yes — the WHDRG’s 7″ QLCD touchscreen is sized for the Road Glide’s factory opening, so it seats flush using the OEM mounting hardware with no trim rings, spacers, or antenna adapters needed.
Will the WHDRG fit my Road Glide?
If you ride a 1998–2013 Harley-Davidson Road Glide, the WHDRG is cut specifically for it and drops in using the factory mount, your original AM/FM antenna, and OEM-style USB. Not sure of your year? Confirm it in the fitment finder.
I have a 2015 Road Glide — does the WHDRG fit?
No — the WHDRG is built for 1998–2013 Road Glides only. For a 2014–2023 Road Glide, look at the WHD14+ on the WHD14+ page, or run your exact year through the fitment finder.
I ride a Street Glide, not a Road Glide — is this the right unit?
Not quite — the WHDRG is cut for the Road Glide’s specific fairing and mount. For a 1998–2013 Street Glide or Ultra, the WHDSG on the WHDSG page is the unit made for your bike.
What about a Tri Glide Ultra or Electra Glide from that era?
Those models don’t share the Road Glide’s specific cut, so the general-touring WHD.9813 on the WHD.9813 page is usually the better match — check your exact bike in the fitment finder to be sure.
Does the WHDRG work on a 2024 or newer Road Glide?
No. 2024-and-newer Road Glides run Harley’s Skyline platform on an A2B digital bus that has no aftermarket drop-in head unit, so the WHDRG — and every SoundStream Reserve unit — does not fit those bikes.
Does the WHDRG have Apple CarPlay?
Yes — the WHDRG has native wireless Apple CarPlay built into the head unit itself, with no separate adapter and no bypass required.
More questions (12)
Does the WHDRG support Android Auto?
Yes, natively and wirelessly. Unlike a factory Harley radio, the WHDRG doesn’t gate Android Auto behind a paired headset or extra hardware — it’s already in the unit.
Do I need a HogPlay bypass with the WHDRG?
No. The WHDRG is an aftermarket head unit with native wireless CarPlay and Android Auto built in, so there’s no factory radio left to unlock and no bypass to add.
What does a HogPlay Piglet add to the WHDRG?
A HogPlay Piglet adds Mirror Link and AirCast/AirPlay screen mirroring — the one thing the WHDRG doesn’t do natively — so you can throw your phone’s actual screen onto the 7″ display.
What does a HogPlay Media Box add to the WHDRG?
A HogPlay Media Box brings Netflix, YouTube, YouTube Music, podcasts, and other streaming apps to the WHDRG’s screen, plus playback from an SD card or USB drive.
Is the WHDRG really plug-n-play?
Yes — the WHDRG drops into the factory Road Glide location using OEM mounting hardware, your bike’s original AM/FM antenna, and OEM-style USB, with no brackets or antenna adapters required.
What’s included for cable routing on the WHDRG?
The WHDRG ships with a 26″ USB cable, so you can route the connection to whichever side of the fairing suits your setup best.
Can I run external amps and a subwoofer with the WHDRG?
Yes — the WHDRG has 5V RCA preamp outputs for front, rear, and subwoofer, so you can add external amps and build out a full speaker system on your Road Glide.
Is the WHDRG waterproof?
The WHDRG carries an IPx5 rating, so it’s built to shrug off the rain you’ll ride your Road Glide through.
Does the WHDRG handle GPS or SiriusXM?
Navigation runs through wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto on the WHDRG, and SiriusXM comes through those same connected apps on your phone rather than a built-in tuner.
How does the WHDRG compare to my factory Harley radio?
Your factory Harley radio typically needs a bypass just to unlock CarPlay behind a paired headset. The WHDRG is an aftermarket Reserve unit with native wireless CarPlay and Android Auto already built in, on a brighter 7″ QLCD touchscreen cut for your 1998–2013 Road Glide.
What’s the difference between the WHDRG and the WHD.9813?
The WHDRG is cut specifically for the 1998–2013 Road Glide’s fairing, while the WHD.9813 on the WHD.9813 page fits the broader 1998–2013 touring lineup — if you ride a Road Glide, the WHDRG is the tighter fit.
I just want CarPlay on my Road Glide without extra boxes — is the WHDRG enough?
Yes — the WHDRG has native wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto out of the box, so if that’s all you’re after, it’s a complete, plug-n-play answer with no bypass and no extra parts to buy.
