The 2008 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy ANV is the 105th Anniversary Edition of Harley's most recognized Softail silhouette — solid disc wheels, a low, wide stance, and special anniversary badging and two-tone paint that set this year's Fat Boy apart from any other. Under the tank sits the Twin Cam 96B, the counter-balanced big twin Harley rolled out for 2007-and-up Softails to smooth the ride without giving up torque. What this anniversary cruiser never got from the factory is a radio or infotainment screen — bolt on the HogPlay Media Screen and this 2008 Fat Boy ANV finally gets wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2008 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy ANV 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.)

Harley built the 105th Anniversary Fat Boy as a showpiece: unique anniversary badges and graphics riding on the same solid wheels and wide front end that made the Fat Boy a cruiser icon since 1990. It's a bike built to be seen, but with zero factory wiring for navigation, music, or hands-free calls — the Twin Cam 96B pulls hard, the stereo just isn't there.
The HogPlay Media Screen fixes that without touching the anniversary paint or trim. The 7-inch screen mounts to the handlebars, taps into power and ground, and pairs wirelessly with your phone — no dash cutting, no splicing into the factory harness. Mounting is fully reversible, so the Fat Boy ANV goes back to stock look anytime the screen comes off.
