| Factory USB location | None |
The 1996 Harley-Davidson Road King paired a classic touring silhouette with the Evolution 1340, offering a detachable windshield and hard bags without the fairing-mounted electronics of its Electra Glide siblings. That means no factory radio and no display up front — just an open cockpit and handlebar. The HogPlay Media Screen mounts right to that bar, wired to power and ground, bringing wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to a touring bike that skipped factory infotainment entirely.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 1996 Harley-Davidson Road King 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.)

The 1996 Road King's minimalist, fairing-free cockpit leaves the handlebar open for a compact accessory mount that fits its classic touring stance.
The HogPlay Screen bolts to the bar, draws power and ground from the stock wiring, and installs reversibly, keeping the Road King's original setup untouched.
