Just BTW.. If you are in the market for your next bike and are torn between a Road Glide and a Street Glide and are having a tough time deciding, One of the advantages of a Road Glide is the cubby size; it is big enough to get a pretty large phone in it and plugged in. When using CarPlay, I often plug it in with a short cable and stow it in the cubby; can't do that with a Street Glide.

That is hardly a reason to choose one over the other, but if you can't decide, that might be a tie breaker.

Correct, CarPlay requires a USB connection to the GTS. You can get
wireless CarPlay adapters wireless CarPlay adapters
that connect to the GTS using USB and the iphone using wireless to get around this. In addition you need to have a mic connected or have the GTS flashed to allow CarPlay to work without a headset. Since your FLHX doesn't have a headset jack you can use a
jumper plug jumper plug
that goes behind the fairing if don't want to flash the GTS.

Lots of info in this forum if you search around.
