The 1999 Harley-Davidson Softail Custom closed out an era: it was the final model year the Softail line ran the original Evolution 1340 engine before the counter-balanced Twin Cam 88B took over for 2000. Stretched-out lines, pulled-back bars, forward controls, and a low, chromed custom stance made this bike a favorite for riders chasing an old-school cruiser look backed by dependable Evo torque. What the 1999 Custom never had was a factory radio, so we built the fix: the 7-inch HogPlay Media Screen, bar-mounted with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 1999 Harley-Davidson Custom 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.)

Harley built the Softail Custom to look like a hardtail chopper while riding on modern rear suspension hidden under the frame rails — long front end, low seat height, and a lean, minimal fender package gave it real custom-shop presence right off the showroom floor. Under the tank, the 1999 Evolution 1340 delivered the smooth, torquey pull Harley riders had trusted since the mid-1980s, right before the Twin Cam era began.
Adding a HogPlay Media Screen to this Custom is a straightforward bolt-on: the unit clamps to the handlebars in place of a factory gauge or accessory mount, wires to a switched power source and ground, and pairs wirelessly with your phone. No dash cutting, no fairing modifications — and the mount reverses for left- or right-side viewing angles to suit your riding position.
