The 2009 Harley-Davidson 883 Custom is the dressed-up cousin of the base 883 — a low, chromed-out stance, staggered shorty duals, and a custom-shaped rear fender that trade Sportster minimalism for cruiser flash. Under the tank sits the air-cooled Evolution 883, the stripped-street-fighter heart that's defined this line for decades. What it never had is a factory radio, screen, or dash speaker. HogPlay fixes that with the 7-inch bar-mounted HogPlay Media Screen — wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto built for bare-bars bikes like this one.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2009 Harley-Davidson 883 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.)

Custom trim aside, the 2009 883 Custom is still all Sportster underneath — a stripped, air-cooled Evolution 883 V-twin with nothing between you and the road, no fairing, no wind protection, and zero factory wiring for audio. That bare-bars layout is exactly why the HogPlay Media Screen was built: it clamps to the handlebar, right in your sightline, with a small built-in speaker doing the job no factory dash ever could.
Install is two wires and a bracket. Run power and ground, mount the unit to the bar, and you're pairing your phone over wireless CarPlay or Android Auto in minutes. Nothing is cut, spliced, or permanently altered — the whole setup unbolts just as easily as it went on, keeping the 883 Custom's stripped-down look intact when the screen isn't there.
On a 2009 883 Custom, the Evolution 883 still delivers that easy, torquey pull city riders love, and the HogPlay Media Screen is built to keep up — sealed fully against water, wrapped in a rugged housing that resists vibration and weather. Dual Bluetooth runs two channels together: one wirelessly pairs your phone for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto navigation, the other sends audio to an auxiliary amp, handlebar speakers, or a portable Bluetooth speaker. A small built-in speaker also handles turn-by-turn prompts and light audio when nothing else is connected.
