The 2019 Forty-Eight pairs its stripped-down bobber stance with the air-cooled Evolution 1200, a bike built for minimalism, not dashboards. Harley never ran a wire for a screen on this model, so the cockpit stays as bare as the day it left the factory. HogPlay's bar-mounted 7-inch Media Screen fills that gap, bolting to the handlebars to deliver wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with nothing to tap into and nothing to bypass.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2019 Harley-Davidson Forty-Eight 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 2019 Harley-Davidson Forty-Eight is a Sportster built around attitude - short travel, a wide 16-inch front tire, a peanut tank, and the air-cooled Evolution 1200 doing the work underneath. What it was never built around is electronics. There's no infotainment system, no display, and no place on the factory bars where a radio ever lived.
That's exactly why riders end up wanting CarPlay and Android Auto here: turn-by-turn directions on unfamiliar backroads, hands-free calls, and music control without ever pulling out a phone. On a bike this bare, there's no factory system to fight with - just an open cockpit waiting for one.
HogPlay's bar-mounted Media Screen is built for exactly that situation. It's a self-contained 7-inch display with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto already built in, so it needs nothing more than power and a ground to run - no factory head unit to tap. It also handles Bluetooth audio both in and out, meaning it can stream to a portable Bluetooth speaker or feed an existing amp and speaker setup instead of relying on its own.

The HogPlay Media Screen on the 2019 Harley-Davidson Forty-Eight runs a dual-Bluetooth design — pair your phone for wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto on one channel while the other feeds an auxiliary amplifier, handlebar speakers or a portable Bluetooth speaker. A small built-in speaker handles turn-by-turn voice prompts and light audio on the move, and the fully sealed, waterproof housing is built rugged to stand up to the weather and the elements the 2019 Harley-Davidson Forty-Eight rides in.
