The 2005 Harley-Davidson V-Rod stands apart from anything else in the factory lineup — a liquid-cooled, Porsche-co-developed Revolution 1130 V-twin dropped into a low, raked drag-strip chassis with a stretched wheelbase and a front-mounted radiator unlike any traditional Big Twin. It was Harley's power-cruiser reinvention, built for straight-line speed and a radically different stance. What it never got was a factory screen. Add the HogPlay Media Screen and this 2005 V-Rod finally gets wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on the bars.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2005 Harley-Davidson V-Rod (VRSCA-98) 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 V-Rod's drag-bike-inspired lines and stripped, low-slung dash left no room in the original design for navigation or infotainment — the factory readout on this 2005 V-Rod is strictly analog. The HogPlay Media Screen closes that gap without disturbing the bike's minimalist profile.
The 7-inch unit mounts to the handlebars, taps into a power and ground point, and it's running — no factory harness to splice, no dash panel to cut into. Because the mount is reversible, you can pull it for a wash or a stock look and have it back on the bars in seconds, keeping the V-Rod's clean drag-inspired lines intact.
The 2005 VRSCA V-Rod never came with a screen, so the HogPlay Media Screen picks up the slack: dual Bluetooth pairs your phone for wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto while a second channel feeds an auxiliary amp, handlebar speakers, or a portable Bluetooth speaker. A small built-in speaker covers turn-by-turn voice prompts and light audio on its own. Sealed and waterproof, it's built to handle rain, grit, and vibration on every V-Rod ride.
