The 2009 Harley-Davidson V-Rod stands apart from the rest of the lineup — a liquid-cooled power cruiser built around Harley's Porsche-designed Revolution 1250 engine, a 60-degree V-twin that trades air-cooled thump for drag-strip pull and a stretched, low-slung stance. It's the bike that proved Harley could build a genuine performance machine. What it never got was a factory radio or screen. Riders who want music, navigation, or hands-free calls on their 2009 V-Rod have to add it themselves — that's where the HogPlay Media Screen comes in.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2009 Harley-Davidson V-Rod (VRSCAW) 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 V-Rod carries the V-Rod's signature look: a raked-out front end, underslung dual mufflers, and a frame built low around that big liquid-cooled Revolution motor instead of hiding it. It's a cruiser tuned for straight-line pull and long, stretched-leg comfort, not touring bags and fairings — which is exactly why it never came with an infotainment system from the factory.
The HogPlay Media Screen fixes that without touching the V-Rod's stripped-down lines. The 7-inch display clamps to the handlebars, wires straight to a power and ground source, and mounts reversibly, so nothing about the bike's factory look is permanently altered. Once it's on, the V-Rod gets wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto it was never built with.
