The 2016 Harley-Davidson 1200 Custom Limited A wears a low, blacked-out stance that leans harder into custom-cruiser territory than the standard Sportster line — pulled-back bars, a stretched teardrop tank, and a torquey air-cooled Evolution 1200 (1,202cc) doing the work with none of the plastic bodywork or fairing that later Sportsters picked up. That bare-bones setup means zero factory radio or infotainment. HogPlay's 7-inch bar-mounted Media Screen fixes that without touching the bike's lines.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2016 Harley-Davidson 1200 Custom Limited A 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.)

This 1200 Custom Limited A is a stripped, rider-first machine — the Evolution 1200 sits exposed in the frame, the bars sweep back for a relaxed reach, and there's no dash, no gauges cluster beyond the essentials, and certainly no screen. That's the appeal of a Sportster this era: raw mechanical presence, not a touchscreen bolted to the tank.
The HogPlay Media Screen drops onto those pulled-back bars in place of (or alongside) the factory clamp, wiring straight to power and ground — no dash cutting, no tapping into the ignition switch, no splicing the harness. Once mounted, it hands you wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto plus a built-in speaker, all from a setup that unbolts just as easily as it went on if you ever want the bars bare again.
