By 2001 the Ultra Sidecar had settled into its role as a go-anywhere tourer, favored by riders hauling a passenger or gear who wanted three-wheel confidence at stoplights and low speed. Its base radio was competent AM/FM gear, nothing more - CarPlay and Android Auto weren't part of any motorcycle's vocabulary yet. HogPlay lays out the aftermarket radio and streaming path that brings both to this fairing now.
No Factory CarPlay — Add It Your Way
The 2001 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.
We also stock universal parts that fit the 2001 Harley-Davidson Ultra Sidecar and most other motorcycles — standalone CarPlay screens and universal USB power.

By 2001 the Ultra Sidecar had a following among riders who valued the confidence of three wheels under a full touring rig - stable at stoplights, predictable in a crosswind, and built to carry a passenger or a dog in the tub for the long haul. The fairing dash on this generation is simple and durable, exactly what riders wanted from a factory radio in 2001.
What it didn't offer, and couldn't have, was Apple CarPlay or Android Auto - neither existed yet. Riders bringing this sidecar rig into the modern era usually start with an aftermarket CarPlay radio built for the fairing opening; Aquatic AV and SoundStream both make units sized for this dash that include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto out of the box.
Add a HogPlay Media Box to that new radio and you gain Android Auto along with Netflix, YouTube, YouTube Music, and podcasts playing from an SD card or USB drive - no phone data needed. A HogPlay USB Piglet is the pick for Android Auto plus Mirror Link or AirPlay mirroring. Or skip the radio swap entirely with a bar-mounted HogPlay Media Screen.
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.
