The 2012 Harley-Davidson Street Bob is stripped-down Dyna attitude at its purest — solo seat, blacked-out finishes, and a wide rear tire riding on a rigid-look frame that hides real suspension travel underneath. Power comes from the counter-balanced Twin Cam 96B, a smooth-running 1584cc V-twin that gives the Street Bob its low-end torque without the extra buzz older Big Twins put through the bars. What it never had was a factory stereo. Bolt on the HogPlay Media Screen and this 2012 Street Bob finally gets wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto without touching a single stock line.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2012 Harley-Davidson Street Bob 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 Street Bob to look unfinished on purpose — narrow profile, minimal bodywork, and just enough chrome to remind you it's still a Harley. The Twin Cam 96B underneath keeps that bare-bones look honest while still delivering plenty of torque for stoplight-to-stoplight riding or a weekend two-lane run. Factory infotainment was never part of the plan, and that's exactly the gap the HogPlay Media Screen fills.
The screen clamps to the handlebars in a compact 7-inch housing, so it reads clean against the Street Bob's minimalist front end instead of fighting it. Two wires do the work — one to switched power, one to ground — with no dash cutting, no fairing mods, and no factory harness to splice into. The mount reverses for left- or right-side placement, so riders can tuck it wherever it stays out of the way and still glances easily.
