The 2013 Harley-Davidson 1200 Custom carries the Sportster line's factory-custom attitude — pulled-back drag bars, a peanut-style tank, and a low, planted stance that reads street-custom straight off the showroom floor, all driven by the air-cooled Evolution 1200 (1,202cc) thumping between your knees. What it doesn't carry is a single wire of factory radio or infotainment — bare bars, no screen, nothing. HogPlay fixes that with the 7-inch bar-mounted HogPlay Media Screen, adding wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to this 2013 1200 Custom without touching its stripped-down look.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2013 Harley-Davidson 1200 Custom 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 1200 Custom has always been Harley's factory answer to the custom-built Sportster — low bars, low seat, a bike built to look like it rolled out of a garage rather than a dealership. That minimalist build is exactly why it left the factory with no gauges cluster real estate for infotainment and no radio wiring to speak of; this Sportster was never meant to carry sound from the factory. The HogPlay Media Screen slots onto those same drag bars without disrupting the custom lines, running off two wires — power and ground — with no splicing into the bike's existing harness required.
Because it only taps power and ground, the install is fully reversible: mount it for a weekend of highway miles with CarPlay navigation and music streaming through the built-in speaker, then pull it back off if you want the cockpit bare again for a show or a swap meet. On a bike built around less-is-more styling, that reversibility matters as much as the feature itself.
On a 2013 1200 Custom, the Evolution 1200's steady pull deserves navigation and audio that keeps pace, and the HogPlay Media Screen is built for exactly that. Its dual Bluetooth channels split the job cleanly: one pairs with your phone for wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, the other routes sound to an auxiliary amp, handlebar speakers, or a portable Bluetooth speaker riding along for the day. A small built-in speaker handles turn-by-turn voice prompts and light audio without any extra hardware. The fully sealed, waterproof, rugged housing takes rain and dust in stride.
