The 2004 Harley-Davidson V-Rod broke the mold the moment it hit showrooms, pairing a liquid-cooled 1130cc Revolution engine — co-developed with Porsche — to a stretched, drag-strip-inspired chassis that put Harley's cruiser lineup on a completely different footing. Low, long, and aggressive, with a raked front end and that unmistakable power-plant frame, the V-Rod was built for open-road presence, not dashboard tech. Factory radio never made the cut, so riders who want music and navigation on the move add the HogPlay Media Screen, a bar-mounted unit built for exactly this kind of bike.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2004 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 Revolution engine's high-revving, high-output character set the V-Rod apart from every big-twin Harley that came before it, and the bike's minimalist instrument cluster reflects that same focus on raw performance over creature comforts. That's where the HogPlay Media Screen fits in: the 7-inch display mounts right to the V-Rod's handlebars, in easy view and reach for a rider already leaned into that stretched-out riding position.
Wiring is simple — tap into the bike's power and ground — and the mount itself is reversible, so the screen can face straight out for maximum visibility or angle in as the ride and setup demand. No cutting into the fairing or dash is required, which matters on a bike whose bodywork was engineered around a low, clean profile straight from the factory.
