The 1999 Ultra Sidecar puts Harley's full touring fairing over a driver-side sidecar, giving new Twin Cam owners a stable three-wheel platform built for long, loaded-down miles. Its factory AM/FM radio was dependable, simple gear for the era, but Apple CarPlay and Android Auto simply didn't exist yet. HogPlay's aftermarket CarPlay radio path fits this fairing's dash opening and brings both wireless today.
No Factory CarPlay — Add It Your Way
The 1999 Harley-Davidson Ultra Sidecar 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 on-board CarPlay and Android Auto, then a HogPlay Media Box unleashes Netflix, YouTube and streaming apps and a Piglet adds 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 too.

The 1999 Ultra Sidecar paired Harley's touring fairing and Tour-Pak with a driver's-side sidecar tug, giving new Twin Cam-powered riders a stable three-wheel platform for hauling a passenger, gear, or the family dog down the interstate. It's a rig built for miles, not sprints, and the factory dash reflects that: simple, durable, weatherproof controls meant to survive decades of use.
That factory AM/FM radio was solid gear for 1999, but it never had a chance at Apple CarPlay or Android Auto - those didn't exist yet. Riders chasing turn-by-turn navigation or hands-free calls on this fairing today look to an aftermarket CarPlay radio built for the factory opening, from brands like SoundStream or Rockford Fosgate, most of which bring wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto right out of the box.
Pair that new radio with a HogPlay Media Box and the sidecar rig picks up Android Auto plus Netflix, YouTube, YouTube Music, and podcasts streamed straight off an SD card or USB drive - no phone data required. Prefer Android Auto with screen mirroring instead? A HogPlay USB Piglet handles that. And if swapping the radio isn't in the cards, a bar-mounted HogPlay Media Screen gets CarPlay-style navigation and music up front without touching the factory dash.
HogPlay Media Boxes work on Diamond Audio, Boss Audio, Rockford Fosgate, SoundStream and Aquatic AV aftermarket radios to unlock apps, streaming and more — it's not just for factory screens. Running an aftermarket head unit? See the matching aftermarket radio pages.
