The 2013 Harley-Davidson Road King carries on the model's original touring formula: a wide, chrome-trimmed front fender, quick-detachable windshield, and stripped-down cruiser stance, powered by the air-cooled Twin Cam 96 big twin and a six-speed Cruise Drive transmission. It's the bike built for open-road miles without excess bodywork or a batwing fairing. That classic simplicity, though, means no factory radio or infotainment — riders wanting modern connectivity on a 2013 Road King can add the HogPlay Media Screen for wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto right on the bars.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2013 Harley-Davidson Road King 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 Road King's low, unfaired silhouette is what sets it apart from its batwing-faired Street Glide and Electra Glide siblings — the handlebar-mounted controls sit out in the open, giving riders a clean spot to add navigation and music without disturbing the bike's classic lines. The HogPlay Media Screen mounts to the handlebars, taps into the bike's 12V power and ground, and connects to your phone completely wirelessly, with no need to cut into the stock wiring harness or splice new looms.
Because the mount is fully reversible, the whole setup comes off cleanly if a rider ever wants to return the Road King to its original, screen-free look for a show, a sale, or just a classic ride.
