The 2009 Harley-Davidson V-Rod Muscle strips the V-Rod line down to pure drag-strip attitude — a blacked-out, low-slung power cruiser riding on a fat 240mm rear tire and powered by the liquid-cooled, Porsche-engineered Revolution 1250 V-twin. It's a factory hot rod built for straight-line speed and street presence, not touring electronics, and Harley never fitted a radio or infotainment screen to this platform. The fix: HogPlay's 7-inch bar-mounted HogPlay Media Screen brings wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to this 2009 V-Rod Muscle without disturbing its stripped-down look.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2009 Harley-Davidson V-Rod Muscle 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.)

Muscle-bound and menacing, the V-Rod Muscle traded the standard V-Rod's chrome for matte black finishes, drag-style handlebars, and a stretched, ground-hugging stance that put the Revolution 1250's horsepower on full display. It was Harley's answer to the power-cruiser class, built to intimidate at idle and haul at speed.
Bolting on the HogPlay Media Screen keeps that hot-rod simplicity intact. The 7-inch unit clamps directly to the handlebars, taps a 12V power and ground source under the tank or seat, and runs completely wireless to your phone for CarPlay and Android Auto, no dash cutting, no fairing to modify. The bracket reverses for either bar position, so it mounts clean on the Muscle's drag bars without fighting the stock layout.
