The 2011 Harley-Davidson Night Rod Special is the blacked-out muscle cruiser of the V-Rod family, built around a Porsche-co-developed, liquid-cooled Revolution 1250 engine that revs harder and breathes deeper than any air-cooled Big Twin in the lineup. Stretched drag-bike stance, raked front end, and murdered-out finish make it look fast parked at the curb. What it doesn't have is a factory radio or screen of any kind — so if you want turn-by-turn navigation and wireless Apple CarPlay on this 2011 Night Rod Special, the bar-mounted HogPlay Media Screen is the drop-in fix.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2011 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.)

The Night Rod Special traded Milwaukee's usual air-cooled rumble for a race-bred, fuel-injected V-twin that revs to 9,000 RPM, paired with a low, drag-inspired chassis that puts this bike closer to a factory hot rod than a traditional Harley cruiser. It's a machine built for straight-line speed and attitude, not touring comfort — which is exactly why it never came with an infotainment system from the factory.
HogPlay fixes that without touching the bike's blacked-out lines. The 7-inch screen clamps to the handlebars in view of the rider, wires straight to a switched power source and ground, and pairs wirelessly with your phone for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Installation is a couple of wire connections and a bar clamp — no dash cutting, no fairing work — and the mount is fully reversible if you ever want the bars clean again.
