The 1996 FLHTC/I Sidecar brought fuel injection to Harley's Classic-trimmed sidecar platform, but even with the updated fuel system it still rode the batwing fairing with no factory audio provisions. A Diamond Audio MS-HD9813 or Soundstream SG-V2 or WHD.9813, cut for the batwing pocket, brings wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to the dash. Since 1996 has no factory radio pocket, the correct install kit and wire harness make the fit proper. A HogPlay Media Box then finishes the job with real streaming capability.
Headset Bypass Required
The factory radio locks CarPlay behind a paired headset. A HogPlay headset bypass removes that so CarPlay and the USB port work without one — then a Media Box or Piglet adds wireless CarPlay, Android Auto and streaming apps.

With the correct install kit and wire harness, the batwing-cut Diamond Audio MS-HD9813 or Soundstream SG-V2/WHD.9813 mounts into this 1996 FLHTC/I Sidecar's fairing pocket for wireless CarPlay and Android Auto.
Behind that new touchscreen, a HogPlay Media Box adds Netflix, YouTube, and streaming apps to a fuel-injected sidecar rig that got a modern engine upgrade but never a modern dash.
The fuel-injected FLHTC/I was ahead of its time mechanically, and pairing this 1996 sidecar rig with a HogPlay Media Box and a new aftermarket CarPlay radio finally brings the cockpit up to the same standard. The Media Box tucks in behind the batwing-cut touchscreen, plug-and-play once the harness is wired, unlocking Netflix, YouTube, and streaming apps for long, easy miles on a three-wheel platform. With no factory audio to work around, the install kit handles the fit and the Media Box does the rest, closing the gap between 1996 electronics and 2026 streaming.
