The 2012 Harley-Davidson Road King carries forward the model's signature open-road stance — wide, unfaired handlebars, a detachable windshield, and hard leather saddlebags that trace straight back to the original King design. Under the tank sits the Twin Cam 96, delivering the low-end torque this cruiser-tourer has always leaned on for highway miles. What the Road King never got from the factory is a screen. Add the HogPlay Media Screen and this 2012 Road King finally gets wireless CarPlay and Android Auto up front.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2012 Harley-Davidson Road King 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 Road King has always split the difference between cruiser and tourer — no bat-wing fairing like its Street Glide and Electra Glide stablemates, just a trimmed-down windshield and a Twin Cam 96 doing the work underneath. It's the bike riders pick when they want touring range without touring bulk, and by 2012 that formula hadn't changed. What has changed is what riders expect from the cockpit, and this Road King left the factory with no navigation and no phone mirroring, nothing beyond a stereo. The 7-inch HogPlay Media Screen mounts right to the bars, wires straight to power and ground, and the housing is reversible so it sits square whichever way the bars are set up.
The HogPlay Media Screen going on this 2012 Road King runs dual Bluetooth — one channel pairs your phone for wireless CarPlay or Android Auto, the other feeds an auxiliary amp, handlebar speakers, or a portable Bluetooth speaker. A small built-in speaker handles turn-by-turn prompts and light audio on its own. And because a Road King lives outdoors, the housing is fully sealed and waterproof, rugged enough for rain, dust, and mile after mile of vibration.
