The 2017 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy is the last of the classic pre-Milwaukee-Eight Softails, carrying the Twin Cam 103 big twin and that unmistakable solid-disc Lakester wheel silhouette that's defined the model since 1990. Big presence, low seat, drag-style bars — it's built for cruising, not for wiring in electronics. There's no factory radio or screen on this Fat Boy, so riders wanting Apple CarPlay or Android Auto need to add it themselves. The fix is the HogPlay Media Screen, a 7-inch bar-mounted display with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto built in.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2017 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy 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 Fat Boy's whole design language is mass and muscle — fat tires, solid wheels, and a fuel tank that looks like it means business, all riding on the Twin Cam 103 for steady, torque-heavy power. Harley never fitted infotainment to this model, so the cockpit stays clean and analog exactly as the factory intended. That's fine, because the HogPlay Media Screen wasn't designed to replace a factory unit — it was designed to bolt where nothing existed before.
Mounting is a bar-clamp setup that fits the Fat Boy's stance without crowding the gauges, with a simple wire run to power and ground for a permanent, clean installation. It's reversible too, so nothing about the bike's stock look is permanently altered if a future owner wants it back to original. Once it's on, the display puts turn-by-turn navigation, calls, and music right at eye level.
Every HogPlay Media Screen runs dual Bluetooth, so a 2017 Fat Boy rider can keep a phone paired for wireless CarPlay or Android Auto while a second channel feeds an auxiliary amp, handlebar speakers, or a portable Bluetooth speaker for real volume on the highway. A built-in speaker handles turn-by-turn voice prompts and casual audio on its own when you want to keep things simple. The housing is fully sealed and waterproof, built to shrug off rain, road grime, and vibration ride after ride.
