The 2009 Harley-Davidson Night Rod Special is the stripped-down, drag-inspired member of the V-Rod family — stretched wheelbase, blacked-out finishes, and a laid-back stance built around the liquid-cooled Revolution 1250 V-twin, a performance engine borrowed straight from Harley's VRSC racing program. Like every V-Rod, the Night Rod Special left the factory with no radio, screen, or infotainment of any kind. The fix is the HogPlay Media Screen, a 7-inch bar-mounted display that brings wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to this 2009 Night Rod Special.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2009 Harley-Davidson Night Rod Special (VRSCDX) 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.)

Built on the VRSC platform Harley developed with Porsche engineering input, the Night Rod Special pairs that 1250cc Revolution engine with a wide 240mm rear tire, drag-style ergonomics, and a low, muscular frame that set it apart from anything else in the lineup when it launched. It's a bike built for straight-line pull and attitude, not touring comfort — which is exactly why riders bolt on a screen rather than route wiring through a fairing that doesn't exist.
The HogPlay Media Screen mounts directly to the handlebars, keeping the Night Rod Special's stripped drag-bike look intact. Installation is straightforward: run power and ground to the battery, mount the bracket, and you're done. It's fully reversible, so nothing about the bike's stock wiring or bodywork is permanently modified.
Every 2009 Night Rod Special deserves sound that matches its attitude — that's what the HogPlay Media Screen delivers. Dual Bluetooth pairs your phone for wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto while a second channel feeds an auxiliary amp, handlebar speakers, or a portable Bluetooth speaker. A small built-in speaker handles turn-by-turn voice prompts and light audio. The whole unit is fully sealed and waterproof, rugged enough for whatever the road throws at this VRSCDX.
