The 1999 Harley-Davidson Road King opened a new chapter for the touring lineup — it was the first model year to carry the all-new Twin Cam 88, replacing the long-serving Evolution engine with more torque and a smoother pull down the highway, all wrapped in the Road King's classic detachable-windshield, spoked-wheel silhouette. Factory-original for 1999, it never came with a stereo or any dash electronics. Bolt on the HogPlay Media Screen — a 7-inch bar-mounted display that gives this first-year Twin Cam Road King wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto it was never built with.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 1999 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.)

1999 was a turning point year for Harley's touring family: the Road King kept its stripped-down, old-school touring look — wide handlebars, minimal fairing, that unmistakable fender-skirted rear end — while the new Twin Cam 88 underneath delivered a noticeable torque bump over the outgoing Evolution engine riders had known for over a decade. It's a bike built for miles, just never built with a way to run navigation or stream music.
The HogPlay Media Screen closes that gap without touching the stock wiring harness or dash. It clamps to the handlebars, taps into a power and ground source, and is up and running in an afternoon. Once mounted, it pairs wirelessly with your phone for CarPlay or Android Auto, and because the mount is fully reversible, the whole setup comes off clean if you ever want the King's factory look back.
