The 2016 Harley-Davidson Fat Bob (FXDF) is the Dyna line at its most aggressive — a fat 130mm front tire, blacked-out drag-bar stance, and a High Output Twin Cam 103 tuned with hotter cams and higher compression for extra low-end punch. It's a bike built to look mean and pull hard, not to babysit a stereo, and Harley never wired one in. Riders who want navigation and music on this 2016 Fat Bob add the HogPlay Media Screen, a 7-inch bar-mounted display with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2016 Harley-Davidson Fat Bob 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.)

Fat Bob earned its name honestly: dual headlights up front, a wide 130-series tire, and drag-style bars that put the rider in an aggressive forward lean. The High Output 103 backs that look up with real torque off the line, making it one of the punchiest Dynas Harley built before the platform folded into Softail for 2018.
Adding the HogPlay Media Screen doesn't touch that stance. The unit clamps to the handlebars in clear view of the rider, taps into a 12V power and ground source, and pairs wirelessly with your phone for CarPlay or Android Auto — no dash cutting, no wiring harness surgery. The mounting bracket is reversible, so it can go left or right of the bars, and the factory look stays intact.
