Brand new for 2012, the Softail Slim brought old-school bobber attitude back to the Motor Company's lineup — deep-valanced fenders, a chrome headlamp nacelle, wide whitewall tire, and a solo-style seat riding low over a blacked-out Twin Cam 103 big twin. It's minimalist by design, with nothing on the bars but a small speedo and a single headlamp — meaning zero factory radio or infotainment. The fix for this 2012 Harley-Davidson Slim is the HogPlay Media Screen, a 7-inch bar-mount unit that adds wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto without disturbing that stripped-down look.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2012 Harley-Davidson Slim 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 Slim's whole appeal is restraint — Harley took the Softail chassis and stripped it to bobber essentials, then backed it with the torque of the 103ci Twin Cam for real stoplight-to-stoplight muscle. It's a bike built to look bare, which is exactly why riders adding modern navigation and music want a unit that doesn't clutter the cockpit.
The HogPlay Media Screen mounts cleanly to the handlebar, keeping the factory gauge and headlamp nacelle untouched. Wiring is simple: tap into a switched power source and ground, done — no dash cutting, no dealer labor. Because the mount is reversible, the screen can be flipped for the best sightline given the Slim's low bar position, and removed just as easily if the bike ever goes back to stock.
Every HogPlay Media Screen runs dual Bluetooth, so the 2012 Softail Slim can pair a phone for wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto on one channel while streaming audio out to an auxiliary amp, handlebar speakers, or a portable Bluetooth speaker on the other. A compact built-in speaker handles turn-by-turn voice prompts and casual audio on its own when you'd rather skip the extra gear. The housing is fully sealed and waterproof, engineered to shrug off rain, road grime, and vibration ride after ride.
