The 1998 Harley-Davidson Heritage Springer paired a springer front end with deep fenders and a solo-and-pillion saddle, a Softail built to look like it rolled straight out of the 1940s while running the torquey Evolution 1340 underneath. Factory equipment stopped at an AM/FM radio in the fairing-less cockpit — no touchscreen, no phone integration, nothing digital at all. Riders wanting turn-by-turn navigation or music streaming had no clean factory path. The HogPlay 7-inch Media Screen bolts to the handlebar and wires to power and ground, bringing wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to a bike that never had a screen to begin with.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 1998 Harley-Davidson Heritage Springer 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 1998 Heritage Springer's stripped-down cockpit leaves plenty of bar real estate for a clean accessory mount, and the springer fork's classic lines stay untouched by any add-on.
The HogPlay Screen clamps to the handlebar, taps power and ground from the existing harness, and mounts reversibly — nothing is cut, drilled, or permanently altered on the bike.
