2013 Harley-Davidson Blackline — HogPlay 7-inch CarPlay & Android Auto screen fitment
Factory codeFXS
EngineTwin Cam 96B
Factory head unitNo factory options — HogPlay Screen recommended
Factory USB locationNone

The 2013 Harley-Davidson Blackline strips the Softail line down to its blacked-out, bobber-inspired essentials — a low, hardtail-styled frame, narrow front end, and minimal trim wrapped around the Twin Cam 96B engine (103 cubic inches optional that model year). It's a stark, stripped machine with nowhere to hide a screen — which is exactly why it never got one from the factory. Riders bolting up a 2013 Blackline for real trips need audio and navigation, and the fix is the 7-inch HogPlay Media Screen, a bar-mounted unit that brings wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to a bike built with none of it in mind.

No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen

The 2013 Harley-Davidson Blackline 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.)

We also stock universal parts that fit the 2013 Harley-Davidson Blackline and most other motorcycles — standalone CarPlay screens and universal USB power.

About the 2013 Harley-Davidson Blackline

The Blackline's whole design language is subtraction — a solo seat, blacked-out engine covers, minimal bodywork, and a stubby rear fender that all lean into that hardtail-chopper look Harley was chasing with the Softail Slim and its siblings. It's a bike built to look bare, which made it a natural candidate to stay analog long after touring and CVO models got factory infotainment. The HogPlay Media Screen respects that minimalism instead of fighting it: it clamps to the bars, taps into a power and ground source, and that's the whole install.

Once it's mounted, the unit is fully reversible with no cutting, splicing into the factory harness, or drilling through tins required, so a 2013 Blackline can go back to fully stock in minutes if needed. For a bike that never left the factory with a speaker or a screen, that's the whole point — modern phone-mirroring and turn-by-turn without touching the stripped-down look that makes the Blackline what it is.
