| Engine | Milwaukee-Eight 107 |
| Factory head unit | No factory options — HogPlay Screen recommended |
| Factory USB location | None |
The 2021 Road King still runs the Milwaukee-Eight 107 under that classic round headlamp, built as a rider-first cruiser-tourer with open handlebars and nothing resembling a factory screen. Harley never routed a radio or a display into this year's wiring, leaving a completely blank slate up front. HogPlay fills it with a bar-mounted 7-inch Media Screen that brings wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to a bike that was never meant to have either.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2021 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.)

Big-twin torque from the Milwaukee-Eight 107 and a stripped, fairing-free front end are what define the 2021 Road King - a bike built around the ride, not the dashboard. That also means every bit of modern motorcycle media, from spoken turn directions to a text read aloud, has to come from something added after the fact.
For a rider who wants navigation, hands-free calls, and streaming music on the move, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are the obvious fix, and they matter more on a bike like this one that shipped with zero infotainment. The HogPlay Media Screen bolts directly to the 2021 Road King's handlebars, needs only power and ground since there's no factory radio to tie into, and works as a complete, self-contained head unit the moment it's mounted. See the full HogPlay Media Screens range to pick between the standard build and the DVR version.
Built-in Bluetooth audio in and out means the screen isn't limited to its own speakers - it can send sound to a portable Bluetooth speaker strapped to the bike or drive an existing amplifier and speaker system, so however the audio side is set up, the Media Screen slots right in.
