I've read articles saying Google doesn't want to get into the motorcycle world yet but can't find anything from Google itself to support that argument.

If you're referring to the Sony AX5000 series from Volunteer Audio, I'd say no simply because: 1- They don't say they do. 2- The main chassis was designed for cars. 3- I only see an interface connector for the main H-D Boom interface, and adding a bluetooth interface would require the additional P&A interface connector that's used for the WHiM & Freewire.

I am working on a hack that will fake the headset. I've already successfully jumped the female DIN to get it to turn carplay on without a headset. I'm working to build a ding adapter to plug in so I don't have to have a headset on and yet use the carplay through the touch interface. I'll come back in a couple weeks traveling now but think I have a solution.

I'm not sure where I'm incorrect. I'm talking about the requirement for a microphone. The microphone requirement is from Apple. Apple requires voice input for Carplay to be enabled.
I understand there is no built-in microphone in the Boom GTS head unit.
It's the same for the Honda Goldwing. No microphone and the Carplay button doesn't show up.

Now, here is where it gets interesting..... They had another FLHXS on the showroom that had the WHIM installed at the Dealer, not from the factory. That unit, once an iPhone was plugged in, CarPlay opened right up. It did NOT even have a wireless headset connected in anyway. The explination I got is that there are settings in the BCM (Body Control Module) that get changed when WHIM is installed. They believe that one of them wasn't flipped. They called HD about it and were told, "The Microphone Requirement is an Apple thing. Apple designed CarPlay to revolve around voice control. The installation you have should not work and is not supported by HD." I'll be adding the module in the spring time so dealer said they would work with me on install/configuration.

Again, CarPlay has nothing to do with requiring a mic. The only thing you need a mic for is Siri. They are not telling the truth to force you to buy unrequired equipment. I have the Sony headunit with CarPlay on my bike without a mic hooked up. CarPlay works just fine. If what they were saying was true, no headunit would work unless there was mic plugged in.
It just like the headunit from the 2018. It has voice controls, but they only work if you have a mic. But everything else on the radio works just fine (maps, radio, etc) without a mic.

Once synced and the 20S turns on, the Phone icon on the Boom GTS turns to the CarPlay logo and off we go.
