The 2006 Harley-Davidson Road King Custom carries the Twin Cam 88 into its final carbureted-era touring years, pairing that 1450cc rumble with the Road King's signature detachable windshield, wire wheels, and stripped-down custom stance that set it apart from the bagger crowd. It's a bike built for open-road miles and minimal fuss — which is exactly why Harley never bothered wiring one for a stereo. Bolt on the HogPlay Media Screen and this 2006 Road King Custom finally gets wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto without touching the factory dash.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2006 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.)

The Road King Custom nameplate has always leaned into a leaner, more purposeful silhouette than its touring stablemates, and the '06 model rides that line right up to the changeover to Twin Cam 96 the following year. No radio, no nav, no infotainment of any kind from the factory — just torque, a windshield, and open blacktop. That's the gap the HogPlay Media Screen closes.
Installation keeps things just as simple as the bike itself. The 7-inch unit clamps to the handlebars in clear sightline, taps into switched power and ground, and pairs wirelessly with your phone for CarPlay or Android Auto right out of the gate. It reverses for glare control, and because the mount is universal, nothing about the Road King Custom's stock bars or controls has to change.
