The 2012 Harley-Davidson Blackline is Softail styling stripped to the bone: a solo seat, a stretched tank, and blacked-out finishes over nearly every surface, all riding on the counter-balanced Twin Cam 96B big twin. It's one of the leanest factory bobbers Harley ever built, low and minimal by design. What it never got was a screen — no navigation, no CarPlay, nothing but analog gauges. The HogPlay Media Screen fixes that: a 7-inch bar-mounted display that brings wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to a 2012 Blackline without touching its stripped-down look.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2012 Harley-Davidson Blackline 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.)

Harley built the Blackline as a rolling exercise in less-is-more — mini-ape-style bars, a low 25.7-inch seat, and a blacked-out Twin Cam 96B engine dressed in dark chrome and gloss-black covers. It's a bobber in factory form, meant to look bare and ride light, which is exactly why it shipped without any kind of infotainment. There was never a dash for one.
The HogPlay Media Screen mounts to the handlebar clamp rather than cutting into the tank or fenders, so the bobber lines stay intact. It taps into a 12V power and ground source, and because the mount is reversible, it works whether your bars are pulled back or pushed forward. No factory harness, no dash surgery — just a clean add-on that gives a 2012 Blackline modern phone integration it was never designed to have.
