The 2017 Harley-Davidson Breakout is drag-strip attitude built for the street — a stretched fat rear tire, low-slung stance, and a raked-out front end that make it one of the most recognizable Softails Harley ever built. Under the tank sits the High Output Twin Cam 103, the last of the Twin Cam era before the Softail line switched to the Milwaukee-Eight in 2018. What the 2017 Breakout never had was a factory infotainment screen, so riders are stuck without navigation or hands-free calls unless they add one. The HogPlay Media Screen bolts to the bars and brings wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to this drag-style Softail.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2017 Harley-Davidson Breakout 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.)

Harley built the Breakout to look like a factory custom straight off the showroom floor — long, low, and menacing, with a 240mm rear tire and drag-bar-style front end that set it apart from every other Softail in the 2017 lineup. It's a bike built for presence and torque, not touring electronics, so there's no dash real estate lost to a screen and no wiring harness to fight when you add one.
The HogPlay Media Screen mounts cleanly to the handlebars of the 2017 Breakout, keeping that stripped-down custom look intact. Installation is straightforward: run power and ground to the battery, mount the unit, and pair your phone. The bracket is reversible, so it works whether your bars are pulled back or swept forward, and removal leaves no trace if you ever want the cockpit bare again.
