The 2009 Harley-Davidson Fat Bob is the fat-tired brawler that redrew what a Softail could look like — dual headlights, a stretched tank, and a wide 180mm rear tire riding on the Twin Cam 96 that powered every Softail of the era. It's pure attitude and zero infotainment: no screen, no Bluetooth, nothing but the road and the exhaust note. Add the 7-inch HogPlay Media Screen and this 2009 Fat Bob finally gets wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto without touching its lines.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2009 Harley-Davidson Fat Bob 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 Fat Bob to be the aggressive outlier in the Softail lineup, and the 2009 model still wears that muscle-bike stance well — fat front and rear tires, a low stretched-out silhouette, and the torque-heavy Twin Cam 96 doing the work underneath. What it never had from the factory was any kind of display or stereo, since the model was built around minimalism rather than electronics.
