The 2016 Harley-Davidson Switchback earns its name honestly: a quick-detach windshield and leather saddlebags let it swap between open-road cruiser and light tourer in minutes, backed by the torquey Twin Cam 103 big twin that came standard on every Switchback built. What Harley never gave this bike was a factory screen or infotainment system — so when you want turn-by-turn navigation or wireless Apple CarPlay on the bars, the fix is the 7-inch HogPlay Media Screen, a bolt-on unit built for exactly this gap.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2016 Harley-Davidson Switchback 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.)

Built on the Dyna platform from 2012 through 2016, the Switchback carved its own niche among Harley cruisers by pairing big-twin muscle with real-world versatility — strip off the bags and windshield for a stripped-down ride, or run it fully dressed for a weekend trip, all without a single stock speaker or display to lean on. The HogPlay Media Screen closes that gap: it clamps to the handlebars in view of the rider, taps into a 12V power source and ground, and runs wireless from there, with no factory harness to splice into. Since it mounts to the bars rather than the bodywork, it moves with the bike whether you're running the Switchback dressed or stripped, and the mount reverses for left- or right-side placement depending on your setup.
Weatherproofing matters most on a bike like the 2016 Switchback that runs stripped as often as dressed, and the HogPlay Media Screen is sealed, waterproof, and built rugged for whatever the road throws at it. Dual Bluetooth pairs your phone for wireless CarPlay or Android Auto while a second channel feeds an aux amp, handlebar speakers, or a portable Bluetooth speaker, and its built-in speaker covers turn-by-turn voice prompts and light audio on its own.
