The 2005 Harley-Davidson Springer Softail (FXSTS) is old-school Harley through and through — that exposed girder-style front end isn't a styling gimmick, it's a mechanical spring suspension straight out of the 1940s, paired with a hardtail-look Softail rear end and a Twin Cam 88 rumbling underneath. It's a bike built to look like it belongs in a different era, which means the dash never had a slot for a screen. Riders adding modern navigation and music today do it with the bolt-on HogPlay Media Screen.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2005 Harley-Davidson Springer Softail 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 Springer Softail pairs its throwback front end with the Twin Cam 88's broad, easy torque — a combination that made it one of the most photographed silhouettes in the Softail lineup during its run. There's plenty of attitude in the stance, but nothing in the way of factory audio or navigation, so this bike either rides quiet or gets whatever the owner straps on.
The HogPlay Media Screen solves that without touching the classic lines. It's a 7-inch unit that clamps to the handlebars, runs off a simple power-and-ground tap, and includes its own small speaker — no digging into the springer forks or hunting for a factory mounting point. It mounts reversibly, so nothing about the bike's original character is altered if it ever comes back off.
Bring modern connectivity to your 2005 Springer Softail with the HogPlay Media Screen, a rugged, fully sealed and waterproof unit built to handle rain, road grime, and everything else that comes with old-school riding. Dual Bluetooth lets you pair a phone for wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto on one channel while a second channel feeds an auxiliary amp, handlebar speakers, or a portable Bluetooth speaker, and the built-in speaker keeps turn-by-turn prompts and light audio covered even without extra gear hooked up.
