Reliable CarPlay Solution with Smart Charging Pass-Through
I purchased the MaedHawk Bypass Motorcycle CarPlay Bluetooth Adapter in November 2024, and it has worked flawlessly ever since. It tricks my Harley into thinking a wireless headset is connected, which allows me to use Apple CarPlay wirelessly without any issues.One of the most convenient features is the passthrough USB-C charging port. I can keep my phone plugged in and charged during long trips without losing CarPlay functionality, which is a huge plus for all-day rides.Important note: This device does not support phone calls since it doesn’t include a microphone. If you rely on taking or making calls through your headset, you’ll need a separate solution.That said, for music, maps, and general CarPlay use, this adapter is a clean, reliable fix. Highly recommended for Harley riders who want wireless CarPlay without the usual hassle.

Works as promised
After purchasing our new 2024 Harley Road Glide, we were looking for a way to bypass having to purchase their car play product. Why it isn’t included is ridiculous, but this was the PERFECT solution. My husband plugs it in and connects to it, and we are able to use every option with ease. A MUST BUY!

Car play
Worked perfect on 2025 Road Glide. Easy to set up in seconds and amazing to have Apple car play on bike

Easy to connect
Updating review: I have had this on my road glide almost 4 months now and I have noticed it does at times disconnect when I’m out some times in the first 15 min to the first hour. It does work best when you have direct plug in over Bluetooth. Bluetooth drops a lot but when I plug in as if charging it has yet to stop working.Original review: Got this for my 24 Road Glide, loved the price compared to having to buy a headset. Connected right away, very easy to use and compatible. Plus the fact I can run my charger cable to it compared to needing a two in one cable.

Does not work. 2023.5 Road Glide CVO
Zero star's. This product not only does not bypass the headset to make Apple Carplay work it prohibits the working USB connection. I am disappointed in that I waited for over a month to get this only to learn that it does not at all work. did not work with a 2023.5 RG CVO and same for a 2025 RG CVO.Update on May 05, 2025 - perhaps i received a faulty unit? perhaps I made a mistake the first time around? No matter what the issue I have since received a replacement unit. Works like a charm!!! Customer service with this group was top of top shelf. Chloe was on top of this issue in the most professional and yet personal way one could ask for! Thank you all!!! Keep two wheels down everyone!

Works Great on a Goldwing with Android Auto.
This was very easy to set up, everything took less than 2 minutes to get working. I watched Cruiseman Youtube Video and he installed it on his Goldwing. I own a 2021 Honda Goldwing and happy with the purchase. I also purchased the 6 inch USB-C cable to use with it. I would buy it again.
