In its final year, the 2022 Forty-Eight still runs the familiar Evolution 1200 and still ships with bare handlebars - no radio, no display, no factory wiring for either. HogPlay's 7-inch Media Screen mounts straight to the bars and acts as the head unit this bike never had, putting wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto within reach of a rider who's never once looked down at a screen on this bike.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2022 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 2022 model year closed out the Forty-Eight's run, still built around the Evolution 1200 and the same bobbed-fender, fat-tire styling that made it recognizable. Like every year before it, the bike left the factory with bare handlebars - no radio, no display, no wiring meant for either.
For a bike with that kind of blank cockpit, CarPlay and Android Auto solve a real gap: turn-by-turn routing, hands-free calls, and streaming music on a ride that otherwise offers none of it. Since there was never a factory system installed, adding one means starting clean rather than replacing anything.
HogPlay's bar-mounted Media Screen is built for that clean start - a self-contained 7-inch unit with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto already inside, needing only power and ground to come alive on the handlebars. It also carries Bluetooth audio in and out, so it can play through a portable Bluetooth speaker or tie into an existing amplifier and speaker setup instead of just its own.
