The 2005 Harley-Davidson Road King Custom struck a different pose than the standard King — stripped-down front end, blacked-out styling, and a lower, leaner touring stance built around the Twin Cam 88. It's still a full-dress cruiser at heart, just wearing less chrome, which means it also skipped the factory radio and infotainment options bolted onto pricier touring trims that same year. Riders who want modern connectivity on this 2005 Road King Custom need an add-on, and the HogPlay Media Screen is built for exactly that gap.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2005 Harley-Davidson Road King Custom 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 leaned into the custom-bobber look for this model, pairing the torque-heavy Twin Cam 88 with a solo seat, low-mount bars, and none of the fairing-mounted tech that came standard on Electra Glides of the same era. That bare-bones approach is great for the ride, less great for navigation or music on the road.
The HogPlay Media Screen bolts to the handlebar clamp of the 2005 Road King Custom without touching the tank, tins, or fairing, so the custom's clean lines stay intact. It taps into a switched 12V power source and a solid ground, then pairs wirelessly with your phone — no factory wiring harness to hunt down. Mount, wire, ride, and the whole unit reverses off in minutes if you ever want the bars bare again.
Every HogPlay Media Screen we install on a 2005 Road King Custom runs dual Bluetooth, so one channel keeps your phone locked to wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto while the other feeds a handlebar speaker, portable Bluetooth speaker, or auxiliary amp for real volume at highway speed. A compact built-in speaker handles turn-by-turn prompts and light audio on its own, no extra gear required. The housing is fully sealed and waterproof, built to shrug off rain, road grime, and vibration ride after ride.
