The 2005 Harley-Davidson Wide Glide is a factory chopper through and through — a raked-out 34-degree front end, wide-spaced fork legs, drag bars, and a blacked-out, low-slung stance that traces straight back to the model's 1980s custom-cruiser roots. Power comes from the carbureted Twin Cam 88, H-D's 1450cc big twin that anchored the Dyna line through the mid-2000s. What the Wide Glide never got from the factory is a stereo. Bolt on the 7-inch HogPlay Media Screen and this 2005 Wide Glide finally gets wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto right on the bars.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2005 Harley-Davidson Wide Glide 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 Wide Glide earned its name honestly: the wider-set fork legs and stretched-out front end give it a lean, drag-strip profile that set it apart from every other Dyna in the 2005 lineup, while the Twin Cam 88 underneath delivers the torquey, low-rev pull the platform is known for. It's a bike built for attitude first, electronics never — Harley never offered a radio option on this model.
That's exactly the gap the HogPlay Media Screen closes. It clamps onto the handlebars in place of (or alongside) the stock gauge, taps into a 12V power source and a ground point, and that's the whole install — no dash to cut into, no fairing to modify because there isn't one. The mount is reversible, so it comes off just as easily if you ever sell the bike back to stock.
