The 2023 Nightster Special pairs Harley's liquid-cooled Revolution Max 975 V-twin with a lower, more finished take on the standard Nightster - cast wheels, a blacked-out cockpit, and mini-ape bars that put you in a stripped-down riding position. Harley never ran a wire for a screen on this bike, so there's no dash pod and no infotainment of any kind waiting to be unlocked. HogPlay closes that gap with a bar-mounted Media Screen that brings wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to the bars themselves.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2023 Harley-Davidson Nightster 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 2023 Nightster Special carries the Revolution Max 975 in a trim built for a clean, minimal cockpit - cast wheels, mini-ape bars, and a bare instrument setup with nothing resembling a screen or a stereo. That's the point of the bike, but it also means there's genuinely nothing to plug into for navigation, calls, or music.
Riders on this platform want the same things riders on any other bike want: turn-by-turn directions on a road they don't know, hands-free calls that don't mean pulling over, and their own music without fishing a phone out of a jacket pocket. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto solve all three with an interface most people already know from their car.
Because there's no factory radio to tap into, a bar-mounted HogPlay Media Screen is the natural fit for the Nightster Special - a self-contained 7-inch display with CarPlay and Android Auto built in that only needs power and ground to run. It also carries Bluetooth audio in and out, so past its own built-in speakers it can hand audio off to a portable Bluetooth speaker or feed into an amplifier and speaker system if you add one later.
The HogPlay Media Screen on the 2023 Harley-Davidson Nightster Special 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 2023 Harley-Davidson Nightster Special rides in.
Android Auto on the 2023 Harley-Davidson Nightster Special: HogPlay makes the 2023 Harley-Davidson Nightster Special run wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay — compare every Android Auto for Harley-Davidson & Indian motorcycles option, then confirm your exact fit with What Fits.
