The 2017 Harley-Davidson Softail Slim S was the factory's answer to riders who wanted stripped-down bobber looks with real muscle underneath — a blacked-out, low-slung Softail packing the High Output Twin Cam 110, the same big-inch performance engine reserved for the S-series Fat Boy and Breakout. That torque-heavy attitude never came with a factory stereo, so the dash stays as clean as the bike intended. Bolt on the HogPlay Media Screen and this 2017 Slim S finally gets wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto without touching that minimalist look.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2017 Harley-Davidson Slim S 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 Slim S as a limited, high-performance take on the standard Slim — same hardtail-style stance, solo seat, and blacked-out finish, but with the High Output 110 under the tank for real passing power. It's a bike built to be ridden, not fussed over, which is exactly why a bulky factory infotainment retrofit never made sense for it.
The HogPlay Media Screen fits that philosophy. It's a compact 7-inch unit that clamps to the handlebars in minutes, wires straight to the Slim S's power and ground, and runs wireless CarPlay or Android Auto the moment your phone connects. The mount is reversible, so it reads right-side up whatever angle or position works best on those low, wide bars — no dash cutting, no fairing needed.
2017 Harley-Davidson Slim S CarPlay & Android Auto — FAQ
Does the 2017 Harley-Davidson Slim S support wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto?
The 2017 Harley-Davidson Slim S left the factory with no radio or touchscreen, so it cannot run CarPlay on its own. A bar-mounted HogPlay Media Screen adds wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, navigation and streaming to the 2017 Harley-Davidson Slim S.
How do I get wireless Android Auto on the 2017 Harley-Davidson Slim S?

The HogPlay Media Screen on the 2017 Harley-Davidson Slim S is a self-contained media center: wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto plus navigation, music and apps on the handlebars.
Is the HogPlay install on the 2017 Harley-Davidson Slim S plug-and-play and reversible?
Yes. Every HogPlay upgrade for the 2017 Harley-Davidson Slim S is true plug-and-play — a simple electrical connection with no cutting, splicing or flashing, and it's fully reversible. Setup is easy; exactly how you reach the connector varies by bike (USB adaptors plug straight in, while some radio-mounted bypasses need brief fairing or radio access).
Do I need a bypass to add Android Auto to the 2017 Harley-Davidson Slim S?
No — the 2017 Harley-Davidson Slim S has no factory screen to unlock, so no bypass is involved. A bar-mounted HogPlay Media Screen adds wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay to the 2017 Harley-Davidson Slim S on its own.
Which HogPlay parts fit the 2017 Harley-Davidson Slim S?
The part made for the 2017 Harley-Davidson Slim S is the bar-mounted HogPlay Media Screen — wireless Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, navigation and streaming in one unit. Confirm the exact fit with What Fits.
For the 2017 Harley-Davidson Slim S, is a Media Box or a Piglet the better pick?
Neither is needed on the 2017 Harley-Davidson Slim S: with no factory radio, the all-in-one HogPlay Media Screen is the pick — wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are built in.
Is Android Auto on the 2017 Harley-Davidson Slim S wireless?
Yes — the HogPlay Media Screen runs Android Auto and Apple CarPlay on the 2017 Harley-Davidson Slim S fully wireless; pair your phone once over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
Every 2017 Slim S owner asks the same thing after the install: how does a bar-mounted unit handle both navigation and music? The HogPlay Media Screen runs dual Bluetooth, so your phone pairs for wireless CarPlay or Android Auto on one channel while a second channel feeds an auxiliary amp, handlebar speakers, or a portable Bluetooth speaker. A small built-in speaker handles turn-by-turn voice prompts and light audio on its own if you'd rather skip external speakers entirely. And since this Slim S wasn't built with weather protection for electronics in mind, the screen's fully sealed, waterproof, rugged housing takes rain, dust, and vibration in stride, mile after mile.
