The 2005 Road King carries the Twin Cam 88 that defined Harley's big-twin era, wrapped in the classic valanced-fender silhouette and detachable windshield that made this model the standard-bearer for open-road touring without a fairing full of gauges. It's a bike built for miles, not menus — which is exactly the problem: no factory radio, no navigation, nothing but wind and engine. Riders solve that on the 2005 Harley-Davidson Road King by bolting on the HogPlay Media Screen, a 7-inch bar-mounted display that brings wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to a bike Harley never wired for either.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2005 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.)

Road Kings of this era leaned hard on stripped-down, big-twin simplicity — the Twin Cam 88 doing the work, a solo saddle or two-up seat, and a windshield you could pop off in ten minutes when the mood struck. That same minimalism is why the cockpit has nothing to build around, and why the HogPlay screen fits so cleanly: it clamps to the handlebars in the open space ahead of the rider, no dash cutting or fairing surgery required.
Installation stays just as simple as the bike it's going on. Run power and ground to the battery or a switched source, mount the bracket, and the screen is live — reversible in an afternoon if you ever sell the bike back to stock. Once it's up, the 2005 Road King finally gets turn-by-turn navigation, calls, and music through a phone paired wirelessly, no cutting into thirty-year-old wiring to get there.
Every HogPlay Media Screen built for a 2005 Road King runs dual Bluetooth, so the same unit pairs your phone for wireless CarPlay or Android Auto on one channel while a second channel feeds an auxiliary amp, handlebar speakers, or a portable Bluetooth speaker for real volume down the highway. A small built-in speaker handles turn-by-turn prompts and light audio on its own if you'd rather skip the extra gear. The housing is fully sealed and waterproof, rated for the rain, dust, and vibration a big-twin road bike dishes out mile after mile.
