The 2018 Harley-Davidson Road King carries the torch of the original American tourer: bare-bones bagger styling, a detachable windshield, leather saddlebags, and none of the fairing bulk of its Street Glide and Electra Glide siblings. Power comes from the Milwaukee-Eight 107, the liquid-cooled-head big twin that replaced the Twin Cam across the touring line the year before, delivering smoother running and stronger low-end torque. What the King skips is a factory stereo. The fix is the HogPlay Media Screen, a 7-inch bar-mounted display that brings the 2018 Road King wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto without cutting into the fairing-free look.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2018 Harley-Davidson Road King 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.)

Road King owners buy the model specifically for its stripped-down, old-school touring stance, and that's exactly why it never got a dash-mounted infotainment unit like its batwing-fairing stablemates. The HogPlay Media Screen respects that layout instead of fighting it, clamping to the handlebars on a standard mount so the classic round headlamp and exposed front end stay untouched. Wiring is a simple two-connection job, power and ground, tucked in near the ignition or battery, and the unit runs off the Road King's factory 12V system with no splicing into stock electronics. The mount is reversible, so the screen can be rotated to whichever viewing angle suits the rider, and it comes off just as easily if the bike is sold or the setup changes down the road.
Bring modern connectivity to your 2018 Road King with the HogPlay Media Screen, a bar-mounted display built for bikes that never got a factory stereo. Dual Bluetooth means one channel pairs your phone for wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto while the second feeds an auxiliary amp, handlebar speakers, or a portable Bluetooth speaker, and a small built-in speaker handles turn-by-turn voice prompts and light audio on its own when you'd rather keep things simple. The housing is fully sealed and waterproof, built rugged enough to shrug off rain, road grime, and everything else the Road King's open, fairing-free ride exposes it to.
