The 1997 FLHTC/I Sidecar paired Harley's Electra Glide batwing fairing with a third wheel, giving riders a stable rig long before anyone dreamed of a touchscreen radio pocket. This year came with no factory audio provisions at all, so the fairing cavity is wide open for an upgrade. Drop in a Diamond Audio MS-HD9813 or a Soundstream SG-V2 or WHD.9813 using the proper install kit and wire harness, and the batwing pocket accepts these 1998-2013-spec units cleanly. Follow with a HogPlay Media Box for real streaming on the road.
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.

The Diamond Audio MS-HD9813 or Soundstream SG-V2 / WHD.9813 is cut for the 1998-2013 batwing radio pocket, so with the correct install kit and harness it drops into your 1997 FLHTC/I Sidecar's fairing and hands you wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto right at the bars.
Behind that new radio, a HogPlay Media Box turns the same screen into a streaming hub — Netflix, YouTube, and more, running while the sidecar rig is parked or your passenger rides along.
Sidecar touring on a 1997 FLHTC/I doesn't have to mean a silent cockpit. Once the fairing carries an aftermarket CarPlay-ready radio, the HogPlay Media Box plugs in behind it and unlocks Netflix, YouTube and the rest of the streaming apps riders actually use. It's plug-and-play, tucked out of sight in the batwing, and built to work alongside the radio rather than replace it. No cutting, no guesswork — just a clean pairing that brings this three-wheeled classic into the touchscreen era while keeping every factory line intact.
