The 2005 Harley-Davidson V-Rod broke from tradition the moment it hit showrooms, pairing a liquid-cooled 1,130cc Revolution V-twin — co-developed with Porsche — to a stretched, low-slung drag-bike silhouette unlike anything else in the lineup. Blacked-out finishes, a hydroformed frame, and that snarling powerband made the V-Rod a genuine outlier among air-cooled cruisers. Harley never fitted it with a factory radio or screen, so riders wanting modern connectivity on this 2005 V-Rod need an add-on — the HogPlay Media Screen bolts to the bars and brings wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto along for the ride.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2005 Harley-Davidson V-Rod (VRSCB-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.)

Two decades on, the V-Rod's drag-strip DNA still stands out — a 60-degree V-twin, radiator up front, and a wheelbase built for stability at speed rather than lean angle. It's a bike that rewards riders who want raw performance wrapped in industrial styling, not chrome-and-tassels cruiser cliché.
Because the V-Rod never came with any onboard electronics beyond a speedo and idiot lights, adding the HogPlay Media Screen is straightforward: the 7-inch unit clamps to the handlebars, taps into a switched power source and ground, and is done — no dash cutting, no fairing modification. It's fully reversible, so the V-Rod's factory look returns in minutes if you ever sell or swap it out.
Built to handle whatever the 2005 V-Rod dishes out, the HogPlay Media Screen runs dual Bluetooth so you can stream CarPlay or Android Auto to your phone on one channel while the other pushes audio out to an auxiliary amp, handlebar speakers, or a portable Bluetooth speaker. A small onboard speaker covers turn-by-turn directions and light music duty on its own. Every seal is rated for road grime, rain, and vibration, so the VRSCB stays road-ready in any weather.
