The 1999 Ultra Classic ANV With Sidecar (Japan) is a Japan-market anniversary edition: a full-dress Electra Glide Ultra Classic tourer paired at the factory with a matching sidecar. Under the fairing it carries the same 1999 factory AM/FM head unit as every other 1999 Ultra Classic — no CarPlay, no Bluetooth, no aux input. Bring it current with an aftermarket CarPlay radio wired straight into the fairing, or skip the swap entirely with a bar-mount Media Screen.

No Factory CarPlay — Add It Your Way

The 1999 Harley-Davidson Ultra Classic ANV With Sidecar (Japan) shipped with the factory factory touring radio (1999–2005) — a solid unit in its day, but no Apple CarPlay, Android Auto or touchscreen. Fit an aftermarket CarPlay radio (SoundStream, Rockford Fosgate, Boss, Diamond Audio or Aquatic AV) for wireless Apple CarPlay — SoundStream, Boss and Diamond Audio include Android Auto natively, while Rockford Fosgate and Aquatic AV gain it once you add a HogPlay Media Box or Piglet, which also unleash Netflix, YouTube, streaming apps, Mirror Link and AirPlay. No headset bypass needed — that's a factory-radio thing, not aftermarket. Rather not swap the radio? A bar-mounted HogPlay Media Screen adds wireless CarPlay and Android Auto too.

We also stock universal parts that fit the 1999 Harley-Davidson Ultra Classic ANV With Sidecar (Japan) and most other motorcycles — standalone CarPlay screens and universal USB power.

About the 1999 Harley-Davidson Ultra Classic ANV With Sidecar (Japan)

Sidecar rigs like this one rarely show up outside Japan, and the extra wheel changes nothing about the electronics behind the fairing badge. The stock 1999 radio is a pre-infotainment AM/FM unit — no data connection to a phone exists, so there is no software update, dealer flash, or hidden menu that unlocks CarPlay on the factory head unit.

The proven fix is a direct swap: pull the factory radio and drop in an aftermarket CarPlay radio, matched to the Ultra Classic's fairing opening and speaker wiring. Pair it with a Media Box or USB Piglet to hand your phone's screen mirroring to the new unit, and this anniversary sidecar hack rides with the same CarPlay setup as a current touring model.
