Order a 2020 Road King Special in River Rock Gray Denim or Billiard Burgundy and you're still looking at Harley's bare-knuckle tourer: a blacked-out headlamp nacelle, a pop-off windshield, and — critically — no fairing to hold a radio. The FLHRXS left the factory with no screen and no factory audio system at all, so there's nothing on board for a bypass to unlock. HogPlay instead bolts on a self-contained 7-inch screen with its own built-in speakers, running wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and streaming apps right at the bars. The engine underneath is still the Milwaukee-Eight 107 — 2020 was the last model year before Harley bumped the touring line to the 114.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2020 Harley-Davidson Road King Special 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 2020 Road King Special carries over the same stripped format as the year before: a nacelle headlamp, quick-detach windshield, and none of the fairing bodywork that houses a Boom! Box on the rest of the touring range. Paint for the year ran from plain Black to River Rock Gray Denim and Billiard Burgundy, but every one of them left the dealer with the same blank slate for electronics — no radio, no screen, nothing to bypass.
That blank slate is exactly what the HogPlay 7-inch CarPlay screen is built for: a self-contained display with its own speakers that mounts at the handlebars and runs wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and your streaming apps independent of anything the factory did or didn't wire in. The Milwaukee-Eight 107 (1,746cc) is still under the tank for 2020, the last year before the touring line's move to the 114.
