The 2009 Road King carries the classic touring silhouette Harley-Davidson has barely changed in decades — wide spoked wheels, a detachable windshield, and that unmistakable chrome-heavy, big-twin stance. Under the tank sits the Twin Cam 96, delivering the torquey, low-revving pull the Road King has always been built around. What it doesn't have is a factory screen: no navigation, no Bluetooth, no CarPlay. The fix is the 7-inch HogPlay Media Screen, a bar-mounted unit that bolts straight onto the 2009 Road King and brings modern phone connectivity to a bike that predates it.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2009 Harley-Davidson Road King 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 2009 Road King sits right in the middle of the Twin Cam 96 era, when Harley paired that engine with the six-speed Cruise Drive transmission across the Touring lineup. It's a bike built for open highway miles, and the analog cockpit that came with it — speedometer, a few idiot lights, nothing else — was standard for the year. No amount of wishing adds a screen to that dash.
The HogPlay Media Screen solves it without touching the wiring harness or the factory gauges. It clamps to the handlebars, taps into a power and ground source, and pairs wirelessly with your phone for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. The mount reverses for left- or right-side placement, so it tucks in wherever it clears your hands and sightline on this Road King's bars, and the built-in speaker means turn-by-turn directions play even before you've connected an external audio source.
