The 2017 Harley-Davidson Road King Special arrived as a stripped-down, blacked-out take on the classic Road King formula, debuting the same year Harley rolled out its all-new Milwaukee-Eight 107 big twin across the Touring lineup — more torque, better cooling, and a smoother idle than the old Twin Cam it replaced. Despite the fresh powerplant and mini-ape handlebars, the Road King Special left the factory with no radio or infotainment of any kind. Wire in the HogPlay Media Screen and this bare-bones bagger finally gets wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to match its blacked-out attitude.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2017 Harley-Davidson Road King Special 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 Road King Special to look mean and ride loud, pairing the new Milwaukee-Eight 107 engine with a stripped windshield, cut fender, and murdered-out finish that set it apart from the chrome-heavy standard Road King. What it never got was a dash-mounted stereo, so riders were left navigating and listening to music with nothing but a phone in a pocket. The 7-inch HogPlay Media Screen fixes that gap without touching the bike's factory look. It clamps to the handlebars in view of the rider, runs off a simple power-and-ground tap into the bike's electrical system, and mounts in a reversible position — no permanent modification, no dash cutting, and no dealer visit required to add real navigation, calls, and streaming audio to this 2017 Road King Special.
Every 2017 Road King Special deserves a screen built for the road, and that's exactly what the HogPlay Media Screen delivers. It runs on dual Bluetooth, so one channel connects your phone for wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto while the second channel feeds an auxiliary amp, handlebar speakers, or a portable Bluetooth speaker for real volume on the highway. A small built-in speaker handles turn-by-turn voice prompts and light audio on its own, even without external speakers wired in. The whole unit is fully sealed and waterproof, engineered to shrug off rain, road grime, and vibration ride after ride.
