The 2008 Harley-Davidson V-Rod Wide Tire sits apart from the rest of the lineup — a liquid-cooled, drag-inspired power cruiser built around the 1250cc Revolution engine, with a raked-out front end, a fat rear tire, and a low, blacked-out stance that owes more to the drag strip than to Milwaukee tradition. It's a bike built for speed and attitude, not touring comfort, which is exactly why it left the factory with no radio or infotainment of any kind. Riders wanting Apple CarPlay or Android Auto on this 2008 V-Rod need an aftermarket fix — the HogPlay Media Screen.

No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen

The 2008 Harley-Davidson V-Rod Wide Tire (VRSCA) 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.)

We also stock universal parts that fit the 2008 Harley-Davidson V-Rod Wide Tire (VRSCA) and most other motorcycles — standalone CarPlay screens and universal USB power.

About the 2008 Harley-Davidson V-Rod Wide Tire (VRSCA)

The 2008 Harley-Davidson V-Rod (VRSCA) paired the liquid-cooled Revolution engine with a long, low drag-bike stance and a wide rear tire, giving up the air-cooled rumble for a smoother, more powerful ride and a look unlike anything else in the Harley lineup.

The HogPlay Screen mounts to the V-Rod's low handlebar, tapping into switched power and ground without disturbing the bike's distinctive radiator shrouds or underslung exhaust.

Since the V-Rod never came with anything beyond a speedometer and tach, the screen adds wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as an entirely new capability rather than an upgrade to something that was already there.

Owners of the 2008 V-Rod Wide Tire count on the HogPlay Media Screen for more than just a mounted display. Dual Bluetooth lets you run two connections at once — your phone stays linked for wireless CarPlay or Android Auto while a second channel feeds an auxiliary amp, handlebar speakers, or a portable Bluetooth speaker for real volume on the road. A small speaker built into the unit itself handles turn-by-turn prompts and light audio on its own, no extra wiring needed. And since this V-Rod runs bare-faced with nothing to shield the electronics, the screen's sealed, waterproof, rugged housing is built to shrug off rain, road grime, and vibration mile after mile.
