The 2017 Harley-Davidson Fat Bob closed out the bike's original Dyna-platform run in style, pairing its unmistakable dual-headlight stance and fat 130mm front tire with the High Output Twin Cam 103 engine standard that year — a torque-heavy powerplant built for stoplight-to-stoplight punch. Like every Fat Bob before the 2018 Softail redesign, it left the factory with no radio, screen, or infotainment of any kind. The fix is the 7-inch HogPlay Media Screen, a bar-mounted unit that brings wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to this 2017 Fat Bob without touching its stripped-down attitude.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2017 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.)

Harley built the Fat Bob to look like it skipped everything unnecessary, and the factory dash backs that up — no display, no speakers, nothing but the analog gauges the bike came with. That minimalist stance is exactly what made this generation of Fat Bob a favorite for riders who wanted raw Dyna character over touring-bike polish, and it's also why the HogPlay Media Screen fits so naturally: it mounts to the handlebars rather than cutting into the fairing that isn't there.
Installation is a straightforward bolt-and-wire job. The mount clamps to the bars, two leads run to power and ground, and the unit is up and running — no dash surgery, no dealer wiring harness. It's fully reversible, so a 2017 Fat Bob that's been in the family for years or is headed for resale down the road stays factory-stock underneath.
Bring modern connectivity to your 2017 Fat Bob with the HogPlay Media Screen, a rugged bar-mount unit sealed and waterproofed to shrug off rain, road grime, and everyday abuse. Dual Bluetooth handles two jobs at once — one channel pairs your phone for wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, the other feeds an auxiliary amp, handlebar speakers, or a portable Bluetooth speaker for real sound. A small built-in speaker keeps turn-by-turn directions and basic audio audible even without an external setup, so the Fat Bob gets modern navigation and music without losing its stripped-down look.
