The 2009 Harley-Davidson Custom carries the Softail Custom's chopper-inspired stance—a fat 200mm rear tire, hardtail-look frame, and pulled-back drag bars riding on the Twin Cam 96 big twin. It's a bike built for attitude and open-road cruising, not electronics—Harley never wired a radio or screen into this custom-styled Softail. Riders wanting turn-by-turn navigation or music streamed from a phone have to add it themselves, which is where the 7-inch HogPlay Media Screen comes in, bolting to the bars and putting wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto right in view.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2009 Harley-Davidson 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.)

Harley built the 2009 Custom to look stripped-down and mean, with minimal bodywork, a solo-style seat, and just enough chrome to set off the black paint and 96 cubic inches of Twin Cam torque underneath. None of that low-key styling gets compromised by adding a screen.
The HogPlay Media Screen clamps to the handlebar in the rider's sightline, keeping the custom's clean lines intact, and wires straight to the bike's 12-volt power and ground—no dash to cut into, no fairing to modify. The mount is reversible, so the unit comes off in minutes if you want the bars bare again for a show or a swap.
