The 2017 Street 500 was Harley-Davidson's answer to the modern rider who wanted authentic V-twin thump in a lighter, liquid-cooled package built for city streets and daily commuting. Power comes from the Revolution X 494cc liquid-cooled V-twin, a compact engine designed for smooth low-end torque and easy maneuverability through traffic. Like every Street 500, this one left the factory with no radio or infotainment of any kind. The fix is the HogPlay Media Screen, a 7-inch bar-mounted display that brings wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to your 2017 Street 500.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2017 Harley-Davidson Street 500 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 Street 500 was built to be Harley's lightweight urban entry point, trading big-twin heft for a nimble chassis, low seat height, and the liquid-cooled Revolution X engine that keeps running cool through stop-and-go traffic. It's a bike made for short hops, tight city blocks, and riders who want V-twin character without the bulk. What it never got was a factory screen, so navigation and music have always meant a phone in a pocket.
The HogPlay Media Screen closes that gap. It mounts to the handlebars, wires straight into power and ground, and is fully reversible, so nothing about the 2017 Street 500's stock look or wiring gets permanently altered. Once it's connected, your phone pairs wirelessly for CarPlay or Android Auto and the screen takes over navigation, calls, and music right on the bars.
