The 2002 Harley-Davidson V-Rod launched as the most radical bike the Motor Company had ever built — a liquid-cooled, Porsche-co-developed Revolution 1130 V-twin wrapped in a low, stretched drag-bike silhouette that shared almost nothing with the air-cooled cruisers around it. Even with that much engineering ambition, the V-Rod left the factory with no radio, screen, or infotainment of any kind. The HogPlay Media Screen closes that gap: a 7-inch bar-mounted display bringing wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to a bike that debuted the future of Harley performance.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2002 Harley-Davidson V-Rod (VRSCA) 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 2002 V-Rod paired a 60-degree, liquid-cooled V-twin with a stretched wheelbase, raked-out front end, and low seat height that gave it a drag-bike stance no other Harley in the lineup could match. It signaled a genuine engineering shift for the Motor Company, built to run cooler and rev higher than the air-cooled twins around it. What it never got was a factory infotainment system of any kind. The HogPlay Media Screen fixes that without touching the bike's minimalist factory lines: the 7-inch unit clamps to the handlebars, taps into a 12V power source and ground, and pairs wirelessly with your phone for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. It reverses cleanly for left- or right-side mounting depending on how your V-Rod's controls and switchgear are laid out, and the whole install stays out of the way of the bike's low, stretched profile.
