Apple CarPlay on my Harley Boom GTS!

[@ghernandez9140]

It worked! I had Apple play on our street glide in less than 10 mins!!!! Thanks Cue!!!!

[@RidingandWrenching]

Glad it helped!

[@michaellogan272]

Dude… that was SO freaking easy! CarPlay is a gamechanger on a long ride and my local dealer wanted $450 to enable it on my 23 RoadGlide ST. I’m very shy about wrenching on my $35,000 bike, but it only took me about a half hour and a $12.50 part. Thanks, man.

[@RidingandWrenching]

That's awesome! Glad it helped!

[@travishinson9214]

In my 2019 Ultra, if you look inside the cubby on the right side about an inch or so there is a hole already there where you can route a charging cable. If your bike is the same then no need to notch anything out and you can ride with the cubby door closed. I routed my charging cable up the brake line and just used small zip ties to secure it.

[@RidingandWrenching]

I'll have to take a look at that. i normally keep my phone on a holder attached to the bars on both of my bikes. The cubby on the Street Glide seems too small to fit my iPhone 14 pro max

[@TENDOY10]

I used a round file at the bottom of the door big enough for the cable to fit in and close the door.

[@RidingandWrenching]

Good idea!

[@bobzurf8190]

I can use my Mike on a impulse helmet and answer phone calls and voice to text ,have sena impulse paired with cable connected to boom. Excellent videos, keep up the good work

[@jerrydelatorre5977]

Just got that unit fir my 17 RGU… installing it myself this weekend.

[@RidingandWrenching]

It's a great update compared to the Boom GT. I've had mine over a year and I love it!

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

Great video brother!!

[@RidingandWrenching]

Appreciate it!

[@bmacias]

Nice video and I think that you covered it all. I have a 2021 RGS with this same plug and I use a Sena 10C for audio and phone calls. Ive been using it for the last year and its been flawless. Another plus of the Road Glide is that it fits my iPhone 12 Plus in the cubby so no rain issues there. Stay safe.

[@RidingandWrenching]

I'll by upgrading the radio on my 2018 RG. The glove boxes are definitely a big plus! I guess I'll need a waterproof case for my Street Glide

[@tayzarnaingnaing]

Thanks bro appreciate it

[@josephmiddleton8584]

I cut a little notch in the bottom of the cubby edge, so I can close the door

[@LSHD254]

Nice video just got my first Harley couple weeks ago so I’m a little ways away from upgrading radio but def a nice feature to have

[@hitechrr]

I ran the usb thru one of the holes in the box to get to the outside of the box so that I can close the door.

[@RidingandWrenching]

Great Idea!

[@PoppaDRides]

I love using Apple Car Play on the bike. I do have the WHIM installed, and the biggest drawback to that, besides the cost, is that you must use the Harley Branded Sena headset to get the most functionality. Can;t wait to see the comparisson of the Radios. I really like the features of the GTS Infortainment system, so interested to the capibility of the other head unit.

[@RidingandWrenching]

Can the Sena connect to a Cardo on a ride?

[@PoppaDRides]

@@RidingandWrenching supposedly, but I have had no success doing so. Only tried once, vie mesh network.

[@Bcharns]

Great info, thank you Sir

[@mkviz]

There has to be a way to listen to music in the helmet while CarPlay is on. Using a cardo headset. I added a wireless CarPlay adapter but for some reason it’s not working I know there is a certain order we’re the phone has to connect to the Harley first then you turn on the cardo headset.

[@RidingandWrenching]

If you connect the Cardo to your phone, you will get the music in the headset. Connect the bike to the phone (USB) will allow you to use CarPlay. With this setup, CarPlay works AND you can decide to play the music in your headset or through the bike

[@mkviz]

@@RidingandWrenching Are you saying that it needs to be connected to the USB? I have a wireless carplay adapter. I did try what you stated, but for some reason it just doesn't want to do it. I tried every combination on how to connect and it still defaults to the motorcycle speakers. I even removed the carplay wireless adapter to see if it will switch over to the Cardo. Just curious what Im doing wrong since it only seems to work when I dont have carplay enabled.

[@RidingandWrenching]

@@mkviz I haven't tried a wireless CarPlay adapter, so I'm not sure about them. Connecting the headset to the phone gives you the flexibility to play music in either the headset or through the bikes speakers. If CarPlay is running, nav instructions default to the bike. The only thing that gets weird is after a phone call comes through. You may have to go through the phone to redirect the music to the headset

[@StopDeportingVeterans]

Good info. Thanks. It’s been 2 yrs since you did this video, have you figured out any tips or tricks that you did not cover? Also, heard you can get HD to flash your system for the whim, without a whim installed, and it works, you know anything about that? Thank you 🇺🇸✌️

[@RidingandWrenching]

Nothing new. The dongle worked well on my bike. I heard the same thing about flashing the radio, but never bothered to try it. On my 18 Road Glide (with the older system) I replaced it with a Sound Stream radio. I love it!

[@J.3.T.Z.]

I'm about to switch to iphone because of this video. I have an AAwireless dongle, but it only allows maps and Spotify audio to be routed to the helmet. For calls, I still have to manually hit the Bluetooth output on the phone, defeating the point of android auto.

[@RidingandWrenching]

I prefer iPhone because of the "ecosystem". Android phones are fine (especially Samsung) but they don't have the supporting ecosystem that Apple has.

[@kmern6979]

So, I bought the whim a few years ago and have the harley headset so CarPlay is supposed to work....? Im too unimpressed with HDs video / dashboard systems... RG & Pan Am...

[@RidingandWrenching]

@@kmern6979 it should work with the WHIM. If it doesn't, I'd take it to your dealership

[@jerrydelatorre5977]

Sorry if this was asked before… will this work on a Galaxy/android?

[@RidingandWrenching]

I'm not sure. The jumper basically tells the system there is a mic attached. A mic is a requirement for CarPlay to function. I don't know if Android has that same requirement.

[@scottlovern2942]

Can you go over your setting on the bike and the Cardo? I can't get calls on my headset.

[@RidingandWrenching]

I think it depends on how you answer the call. I will do some more testing this week and post a follow up

[@craiglankenau4692]

I wish it was that easy no matter what I do it won’t work on my 2023 street glide

[@cotmanlangston1540]

love it sir!

[@RidingandWrenching]

Thanks!

[@ootac]

Have you tried to listen to Spotify through your Cardo while your phone is plugged into the cable and CarPlay is active because I have had it working a few times but can’t figure out how I did it. If so can you do a vid on it as there is no one out there that has. Great channel also👍👍

[@RidingandWrenching]

I don't listen to Spotify, I generally to Amazon Music or Apple Music. The process should be the same. I will do a follow up video soon covering this topic

[@ootac]

Can’t wait thanks 🙏

[@Sakh85]

Could you please share what is a phone holder you have installed on your bike ?!

[@brooklyncvo7525]

I have a question I have Apple car play and a pack talk. What music can u listen through your headset downloaded music store on your phone or pandora etc and can u still be able to communicate with another ride via the com of your packtalk while having the phone connected with usb

[@RidingandWrenching]

I haven't been able to listen to music AND connect to other riders. That is the drawback with Cards. You have to pick one or the other. It won't let you do both at the same time....If it's possible, I don't know how to do it!

[@brooklyncvo7525]

@@RidingandWrenching well I was riding last night and I was pair with a buddy and having the Cardo app on I was able to listen to Spotify and talk to my buddy but as soon as I plugged my wire into the usb for carplay it went off. I might go and try the wireless adapter for carplay and see what happens

[@pablitorentas4217]

This is only for 2019 & up ? I have a 2016 SGS & want this

[@RidingandWrenching]

You would have to upgrade the head unit. Either a Harley GTS or the Soundstream Reserve. I installed the Soundstream in my 2018 Road Glide

[@Andrea.Gandalf]

Hi I wanted to ask you a question but does this connector with the jump also work on the 2022 cvo trike? I'm asking you this question because I also use the Cardo intercom and I don't want to use the Harley Sena system

[@RidingandWrenching]

I don't think it's necessary because it has a WHIM. Try plugging in to the USB. It should work

[@Andrea.Gandalf]

@@RidingandWrenching I have already tried to connect my iphone 11 with usb but apple car play does not start, i start only if the sena 30k system is also connected which is already supplied with the cvo series

[@RidingandWrenching]

@@Andrea.Gandalf I'm not sure. I'll ask around

[@Andrea.Gandalf]

@@RidingandWrenching I also thank you because I'm here in Italy and there are no trained people for technical support for the Harley electronic part. I purchased the 2022 model cvo trike and just picked it up from the dealership in Milan Italy after a year of waiting it finally arrived. I am very disappointed that Harley does not allow you to connect the cardo system, they are not serious

[@user-sg6fc3hm6v]

With the carplay installed, can I still set a Cardo pack edge in the helmet?

[@RidingandWrenching]

Yes. But I have mine connected to my phone

[@brandonsbikes1038]

I had CarPlay on my SGS, but I didn’t like the inability to use my voice commands in my Cardo Packtalk. Have you found a way to do that?

[@RidingandWrenching]

I haven't experimented with that. I don't do voice commands on my phone....guess that makes me an old man!

[@rosskuriger3608]

I can’t get it to work on my 2022 street glide and can’t figure out why!!

[@RidingandWrenching]

Do you have a WHIM on your bike?

[@DE-gb3wq]

I put a 2020 boom gts in my buddy 2018, works good. Have the same jumper on my 21 RGS so got him one but it doesn’t fit the harness plug far as I can see. Anyone had solved this with GTS?

[@RidingandWrenching]

My 22 SGS had the GTS. I was able to use the jumper on it. I'm not sure what's changed since then

[@chriswood8708]

Is it still working bc I read a review where the guy said when he took his bike in for service and Harley did the latest software update it doesn’t work anymore wondering if that’s true

[@RidingandWrenching]

I haven't had any issues. I have been using CarPlay on my street glide for the last year with no issues

[@leogreen1906]

Is that a Buick? I have a 21 SG and 64 Riv…

[@RidingandWrenching]

It's a 66 Mustang

[@WeThePeopleUSA]

I did the jumper wire device in my 22 Road Glide Ltd, no WHIM. Didn’t work. Any suggestions?

[@RidingandWrenching]

I would check the USB connector to make sure it works. Also try a different lightning cable. Another thought is to inspect the jumper to ensure that it "shorts" the correct two wires. Was the radio flashed (or had a software update?)

[@BlancoFlaco]

I believe I read somewhere to make sure your in projection mode or on?

[@javiriojas6463]

So if I’ve got a CVO with a whim installed my only option is to get a HARLEY branded sena??

[@BlancoFlaco]

@@javiriojas6463 yes

[@mazdaspeedsteve380]

I ordered the same jumper, but didn’t have the wire is this right??

[@RidingandWrenching]

I think it should unless they found a way to internally short the 2 pins.

[@GlidingOnTwos]

I'm still stuck with the old bike, so no screen for me. 😆

[@RidingandWrenching]

You can get the SoundStream!

[@Santi_Mancini]

Can you use it in a 2018 CVO Street Glide Boom?

[@RidingandWrenching]

No. Only works with the Boom GTS. The other option is an aftermarket head unit. I have the Sound Stream reserve in my 2018 Road Glide. Love it!

[@Santi_Mancini]

@@RidingandWrenching you mean I need to get rid of my current Boom and buy your Sound Stream? ? Can you send me a link of it so I can buy it? Thanks!

[@tayzarnaingnaing]

Will this work 2023 Street Glide Special?

[@RidingandWrenching]

It should. There were no major changes between the 22 and 23. The bike in this video is a 22 SG Special

[@MrJCPMello]

Is it possible to install it on a HD Ultra 2016?

[@RidingandWrenching]

You would need a new head unit. Either a Harley Boom GTS or a Soundstream Reserve HDHU14+. Contact Jay at Volunteer Audio. Tell him I sent you

[@mannixsantos3931]

Can you pick up a phone call with Cardo?

[@RidingandWrenching]

Yes
