The 1997 FLHTCU/I Sidecar carries Ultra-grade touring comfort and a batwing fairing designed for long hauls, but like every 1996-1997 Big Twin it left the factory with zero audio provisions. That's actually good news for an upgrade: the fairing pocket is a blank canvas for a Diamond Audio MS-HD9813 or Soundstream SG-V2 / WHD.9813, both cut for the 1998-2013 batwing opening and installable here with the right kit and harness. Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto follow, and a HogPlay Media Box behind the radio brings streaming video and audio along for the ride.
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.

A Diamond Audio MS-HD9813 or Soundstream SG-V2 / WHD.9813, installed with the correct 96-97 fitment kit and wire harness, drops into the 1997 FLHTCU/I Sidecar's batwing pocket and delivers wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto at the bars.
The HogPlay Media Box then pairs with that radio to unlock Netflix, YouTube and other streaming apps, turning the sidecar cockpit into a genuine entertainment stop.
An Ultra-class sidecar rig like the 1997 FLHTCU/I deserves more than an AM/FM dial, and that's exactly what a fairing-matched aftermarket radio delivers. Once the CarPlay-ready head unit is seated in the batwing, the HogPlay Media Box connects in behind it to unlock Netflix, YouTube and the streaming apps riders expect today. It installs plug-and-play with no factory harness cut, letting this 1997 Ultra sidecar combo pick up modern media without losing a shred of its original character.
