2011 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy — HogPlay 7-inch CarPlay & Android Auto screen fitment
Factory codeFLSTF SHRINE
EngineTwin Cam 96
Factory head unitNo factory options — HogPlay Screen recommended
Factory USB locationNone

The 2011 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy carries forward the solid-disc-wheel silhouette that's defined the FLSTF since 1990, running the Twin Cam 96 big twin under those wide, unmistakable fenders. Deep chrome, staggered shotgun pipes, and a fat 130mm front tire give this Softail its bulldog stance -- but like every Fat Boy of this era, it left the factory with no radio or infotainment of any kind. Riders wanting Apple CarPlay or Android Auto on a 2011 Fat Boy have to add it themselves: the HogPlay Media Screen bolts to the bars and brings modern connectivity to this classic cruiser.

No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen

The 2011 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy 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.)

We also stock universal parts that fit the 2011 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy and most other motorcycles — standalone CarPlay screens and universal USB power.

About the 2011 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy

The Fat Boy built its reputation on that solid-disc-wheel look and heavyweight stance, and the 2011 model rides on the same Twin Cam 96 that powered the Softail line through this era -- torquey, air-cooled, and tuned for low-rpm cruising rather than screens and speakers. Because the factory dash on a 2011 Fat Boy is just a speedometer and idiot lights, adding navigation or hands-free calling means mounting something aftermarket.

The 7-inch HogPlay Media Screen clamps to the handlebars in the rider's sightline, wires straight to a switched power source and ground, and runs wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto off the rider's phone. Installation doesn't touch the wiring harness or require cutting into the Fat Boy's stock electronics, and the mount reverses for left- or right-side bar placement depending on how the cockpit is set up.

Beyond turn-by-turn and calls, the HogPlay Media Screen runs two Bluetooth connections at once on a 2011 Fat Boy -- one paired to a phone for wireless CarPlay or Android Auto, the other feeding an auxiliary amp, handlebar speakers, or a portable Bluetooth speaker. A small built-in speaker handles voice prompts and light audio on its own when nothing else is paired. The whole unit is fully sealed and waterproof, built to shrug off rain, road grime, and vibration mile after mile.
