The 1996 Heritage Softail Nostalgia — nicknamed the 'Moo Glide' for its black-and-white cowhide seat and bag inserts — paired retro styling with the Evolution 1340 and the same factory-blank cockpit as every Softail of the era. No screen, no stereo, just gauges.
The HogPlay Media Screen adds a 7-inch bar-mounted touchscreen wired to power and ground, bringing wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to the 1996 Heritage Softail Nostalgia.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 1996 Harley-Davidson Heritage Softail Nostalgia left the factory with no radio, stereo or touchscreen to bypass — so instead of a workaround, you add your own. A standalone HogPlay Media Screen is a 7-inch head unit with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, live Maps & Waze navigation, calls and streaming built in — we recommend the Screen 7 Pro with its onboard DVR drive-cam. Most riders settle for Bluetooth-only kits that leave the phone in your pocket with no turn-by-turn directions; this puts it all on the bars instead. It mounts to the handlebars with basic power and ground and comes off just as easily, so reach out to the HogPlay team if you'd like a hand. (Media Box support on Screens is in development.)

Power and ground wiring routes behind the headlight, and the mount is fully reversible, keeping the bike's rare factory look untouched.
