The 2018 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy Anniversary marked the brand's 115th year with a fresh take on the icon Arnold Schwarzenegger made famous in "Terminator 2" — solid disc wheels, a fatter front tire, and the all-new Milwaukee-Eight 114 engine under redesigned bodywork. It was the first ground-up rework of the Fat Boy in over two decades, and it rides quiet and radio-free from the factory. Add the HogPlay Media Screen and this 2018 Fat Boy Anniversary gets wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto without touching the stock look.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2018 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy Anniversary 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 115th Anniversary trim dressed the reworked Fat Boy in special badging and finishes, but under the hood it's the same big news for 2018: the Milwaukee-Eight 114, a torquier, smoother-running V-twin that replaced the outgoing Twin Cam across the Softail line. HogPlay's 7-inch screen mounts right to the handlebars on a bar-clamp bracket sized for stock or aftermarket risers, so it doesn't fight the Fat Boy's low, muscular stance.
Wiring is straightforward — tap into switched power and ground, run the cable down through the bars, and you're done. No dash cutting, no fairing to modify. The mount reverses for left- or right-side placement, so riders can position the screen exactly where it stays out of the sightline until it's needed.
