The 2016 Road King carries the touring lineage in its purest form — full-size, chrome-heavy, and powered by the Twin Cam 103 High Output, Harley's standard big-twin for this model that year. It's the bike that defined "bagger" long before fairings got bigger and screens got smarter, and true to that old-school spirit, Harley never gave it one: no factory radio, no display, nothing but a solo gauge and open road. HogPlay fixes that gap with the 7-inch HogPlay Media Screen, a bar-mounted unit that brings wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to a bike that was born before either existed.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2016 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 has stayed true to its 1994 blueprint for over two decades: chrome, spoked wheels (or cast, depending on trim), a big screen-less analog cockpit, and that unmistakable, quick-detach windshield that lets it swing from tourer to bare-bones cruiser in minutes. Under the tank, the 103 pumps out strong low-end torque built for two-up highway miles, but Harley never wired in navigation, Bluetooth, or CarPlay on this generation — you get a speedometer, a tach if you're lucky, and not much else.

For the 2016 Harley-Davidson Road King, is a Media Box or a Piglet the better pick?

Every 2016 Road King leaves this build with the HogPlay Media Screen doing the work Harley skipped. Dual Bluetooth radios handle two jobs at once — one pairs to your phone for wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, the other feeds a handlebar speaker, portable Bluetooth speaker, or auxiliary amp for real volume. A small onboard speaker keeps turn-by-turn directions and light audio audible even without external speakers hooked up. And because a Road King sees rain, dust, and open highway in equal measure, the unit is sealed and waterproof end to end, built to shrug off whatever the ride throws at it.
