The 1996 Ultra Sidecar shares its batwing fairing and blank audio slate with the rest of the 96-97 Ultra range — no factory radio, no wiring to strip. That's a clean start for a Diamond Audio MS-HD9813 or Soundstream SG-V2 / WHD.9813, fitted with the correct 96-97 kit and wire harness to match this fairing. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard from there, and a HogPlay Media Box behind the radio adds Netflix, YouTube and more to this sidecar tourer.
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.
