The 2004 Harley-Davidson V-Rod broke from tradition the moment it hit showrooms, pairing a liquid-cooled Revolution 1130 V-twin—co-developed with Porsche—with a stretched, drag-bike stance, raked-out front end, and a low seat height that set this power cruiser miles apart from any Softail or Dyna wearing the Bar & Shield. That radical engineering came at a cost: no factory radio, no infotainment of any kind. Riders wanting modern connectivity on a 2004 V-Rod need an aftermarket fix, and that's exactly what the HogPlay Media Screen delivers.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2004 Harley-Davidson V-Rod (VRSCB) 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 V-Rod platform to chase performance riders who'd never consider a traditional cruiser, and the V-Rod's drag-strip DNA—liquid-cooled power from that Revolution 1130, a wheelbase tuned for straight-line stability, a stretched-out riding position—still turns heads two decades later. What it never got was a place to mount a stereo or navigation unit.
The HogPlay Media Screen solves that with a compact 7-inch display that clamps directly to the V-Rod's handlebars, keeping the low, stretched silhouette intact. Installation taps into the bike's existing power and ground, with no dash cutting or fairing modification required, and the mount reverses for either bar orientation so it sits naturally on the V-Rod's pulled-back bars.
