The 2012 Harley-Davidson Wide Glide carries forward the stripped-down, old-school bobber look that defined its 2010 relaunch — a wide, chrome-shrouded front end sitting low over a blacked-out Twin Cam 103 V-twin, drag-style bars, and a tall sissy bar out back. It's a factory custom built for attitude, not electronics, so there's no infotainment of any kind from the factory. Drop in the HogPlay Media Screen and this 2012 Wide Glide finally gets wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto without touching that stripped-down look.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2012 Harley-Davidson Wide Glide 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 resurrected the Wide Glide nameplate in 2010 specifically to chase this raked-out, wide-front bobber styling, and the 2012 model rides on the Dyna platform with the Twin Cam 103 doing the work under those blacked-out covers — more low-end grunt than the old Twin Cam 96 it replaced, wrapped in the same lean, no-fairing silhouette. Since there's nowhere factory to mount a screen, the HogPlay Media Screen clamps straight to the handlebars in the rider's sightline. It taps into a nearby 12V power source and a solid ground, and the mount reverses easily if you'd rather run it above or below the bars.
