The 2008 Harley-Davidson V-Rod Wide Tire is where drag-strip DNA meets Milwaukee muscle: a liquid-cooled Revolution 1250 V-twin (bumped up from 1130cc that very year), a stretched-out stance, and a fat 240mm rear tire that plants raw power to the pavement. It's a bike built for attitude and torque, not touring electronics, so there's no factory radio or screen. Drop in the HogPlay Media Screen and give this 2008 V-Rod Wide Tire wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to go with the muscle.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2008 Harley-Davidson V-Rod Wide Tire (VRSCAW) 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 2008 Harley-Davidson V-Rod Wide Tire (VRSCAW) pushed the V-Rod's muscle-cruiser styling further, with an even fatter rear tire, forward controls, and chrome details that set it apart from the standard V-Rod on showroom floors.
The HogPlay Screen clamps to the handlebar and wires into power and ground, keeping the VRSCAW's forward-control ergonomics and stretched-out stance untouched.
With no factory radio or display to begin with, the screen turns a bare cockpit into one with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto — maps and calls on a bike built purely for the boulevard.
