The 2013 Harley-Davidson V-Rod Muscle is the drag-strip brawler of the lineup — a low, blacked-out power cruiser built around the liquid-cooled, Porsche-designed Revolution 1250 V-twin, with a fat 240mm rear tire and a stretched-out stance that looks ready to launch off the line. What it never got from the factory is a stereo. There's no dash screen, no navigation, no Bluetooth of any kind — just clip-ons, gauges, and that Revolution engine doing the talking. Drop in the HogPlay Media Screen and this 2013 V-Rod Muscle finally gets wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to go with the sound.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2013 Harley-Davidson V-Rod Muscle 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 V-Rod Muscle came out of Harley's VRSC drag-bike program, and the Revolution 1250 engine underneath it was a genuine departure — liquid-cooled, dual overhead cams, and a redline well above anything the Big Twin lineup could touch. It's a bike built for straight-line pull and low-slung attitude, not touring comfort, which is exactly why a compact, self-contained infotainment option makes more sense than trying to shoehorn in factory electronics that were never designed for this platform.
The HogPlay Media Screen mounts right to the bars, in easy view alongside the gauges, and wires straight to power and ground — no splicing into the V-Rod's stock harness, no dealer-only modules. It's reversible too, so if you ever sell the bike or swap it to another ride, it comes off clean. Once it's on, the 7-inch touchscreen brings this V-Rod Muscle wireless CarPlay and Android Auto for maps, calls, and music the factory setup never offered.
