The 2023 Sportster S carries the same Revolution Max 1250 punch that made this roadster a standout, but the handlebar area is exactly as bare as the day the nameplate launched. Harley never engineered a factory screen into this bike's design. A bar-mounted HogPlay Media Screen closes that gap, bringing wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to a bike that was never meant to have either.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2023 Harley-Davidson Sportster S 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.)

By 2023 the Sportster S had proven itself as one of Harley's most distinct platforms - the Revolution Max 1250 doing the work under a tank that leaves the handlebars almost completely bare. That minimalism is part of the design language, but it leaves the rider without any factory path to navigation, phone calls, or music while underway.
Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto exist to fill precisely that void: a glance at the bars replaces fumbling for a phone, and voice commands handle calls and messages without breaking focus on the road.
Since the 2023 Sportster S never shipped with anything resembling a screen, HogPlay's bar-mounted Media Screen is built to stand in as the bike's first and only head unit - a self-contained 7-inch display with CarPlay and Android Auto built in, needing just power and ground to run. Its Bluetooth audio in and out also lets it feed a portable Bluetooth speaker or an existing amp and speaker setup instead of relying only on its own onboard sound.
The HogPlay Media Screen on the 2023 Harley-Davidson Sportster S 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 Sportster S rides in.
Android Auto on the 2023 Harley-Davidson Sportster S: HogPlay makes the 2023 Harley-Davidson Sportster S 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.
