The 2013 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy carries the solid-disc-wheel silhouette that's defined the model since 1990, now backed by the Twin Cam 103 big twin Harley made standard across the Softail lineup starting with the 2012 model year — more torque, same unmistakable stance. What the factory never gave this bike is a screen: no GPS, no phone mirroring, nothing but a speedometer and a basic stereo head unit at best. The HogPlay Media Screen bolts to the bars and fixes that in an afternoon, bringing real navigation and music to a 2013 Fat Boy that's otherwise stuck in analog.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2013 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy 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.)

Twin Cam 103 power aside, the Fat Boy's appeal has always been about attitude over electronics — chunky fenders, that fat front tire, and disc wheels that look machined from a single billet. Harley never engineered a factory infotainment option for this generation, so riders have historically bolted on aftermarket GPS units or just ridden with a phone in a pocket and earbuds in. The HogPlay Media Screen replaces that guesswork: a 7-inch touchscreen clamps to the handlebars, taps into a switched 12V power source and a ground point, and runs wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto straight off your phone. Installation is straightforward and fully reversible — no cutting into the wiring harness, no permanent mods to the 2013 Fat Boy, and no dealer visit required.
