For 2024 the Nightster Special keeps the same Revolution Max 975 engine and the same stripped, blacked-out cruiser stance - low, light, and built without a hint of a dash screen. Harley still doesn't wire this bike for any kind of head unit, so riders are left with bare bars and no way to run a phone through the bike. HogPlay's bar-mounted Media Screen turns that blank cockpit into a full wireless CarPlay and Android Auto setup.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2024 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 2024 Nightster Special runs the same liquid-cooled Revolution Max 975 V-twin as the rest of the lineup, wrapped in the low, minimal styling that defines this trim - cast wheels, mini-ape bars, and a cockpit with no dash pod or gauge cluster built for a screen. It's a purpose-built stripped-down machine, which also means zero factory path to navigation or media.
That blank cockpit is exactly why so many Nightster Special owners look at CarPlay and Android Auto: real turn-by-turn routing on the fly, hands-free calling, and music control without ever touching a phone mid-ride. On a bike with no gauge screen to begin with, adding that capability means starting from scratch rather than upgrading anything.
HogPlay's bar-mounted Media Screen is built for exactly this situation - a self-contained 7-inch unit with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto already built in, needing only power and ground since there's no factory radio to bypass. It also runs Bluetooth audio in and out, so it can push sound to a portable Bluetooth speaker or tie into an amplifier and speaker setup instead of relying only on its own built-in speakers. A DVR version is also available for riders who want a recorded view of the ride alongside the screen.
The HogPlay Media Screen on the 2024 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 2024 Harley-Davidson Nightster Special rides in.
Android Auto on the 2024 Harley-Davidson Nightster Special: HogPlay makes the 2024 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.
