The 2009 Harley-Davidson Cross Bones strips the Softail line down to its bones — a springer front end, bobbed fenders, a lone solo seat, and wishbone bars that echo Harley's bare-knuckle 1940s roots, all backed by the torquey Twin Cam 96 big twin. It's a bike built for minimalism, not multimedia, so there's no factory radio or infotainment anywhere on it. Riders who want modern connectivity without disturbing that stripped-down look can add the 7-inch HogPlay Media Screen, a bar-mounted unit built for exactly this kind of blank-slate Harley.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2009 Harley-Davidson Cross Bones 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 Cross Bones (2008-2011) as the raw, unfinished-looking cousin to the Softail Springer, pairing that classic front suspension with a distressed seat, drag-style pipes, and a bare-bones stance meant to look like it rolled off a chopper builder's bench. The Twin Cam 96 underneath delivers the low-end pull the styling promises, but Harley never wired in a dash for audio or navigation.
The HogPlay Media Screen fills that gap without cutting into the bike's minimalist lines. It clamps to the handlebars in the sightline the springer front end already frames, runs off two wires tapped into power and ground, and mounts reversible so it reads right-side up whether it sits above or below the bars. No dash to cut, no fairing to modify — just wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto added to a bike that never had a screen to begin with.
