The 1998 FLHTCU/I Sidecar arrived with a factory-cut batwing radio pocket, which means this Ultra-trim sidecar rig upgrades to modern media with almost no extra work. A Diamond Audio MS-HD9813 or Soundstream SG-V2 / WHD.9813 slots straight into that 1998-2013 opening, bringing wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to a bike built years before any factory touchscreen existed. From there, a HogPlay Media Box behind the radio opens the door to Netflix, YouTube and more for stops along the route.
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.
