The 1997 FLHT Sidecar carried the same batwing-faired, three-wheel touring formula, and like the year before it left the factory with no audio provisions. A Diamond Audio MS-HD9813 or Soundstream SG-V2 or WHD.9813, cut for the batwing pocket, adds wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to the dash. Because 1997 has no factory radio pocket, the correct install kit and wire harness deliver a clean fit. A HogPlay Media Box behind it gives this sidecar rig the streaming lineup its slower touring pace can really put to use.
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.
