The 1997 Ultra Sidecar rolled out with a batwing fairing and no factory audio setup, just like its 1996 counterpart. A Diamond Audio MS-HD9813 or Soundstream SG-V2 / WHD.9813, installed with the proper 96-97 kit and harness, fits into that empty pocket and unlocks wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A HogPlay Media Box behind the new radio adds Netflix, YouTube and more to this sidecar-equipped touring rig.
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.
