The 2002 Ultra Sidecar kept the formula simple: full fairing, Tour-Pak, and a sidecar tug for riders who wanted extra stability without stepping up to a trike. Its factory radio delivered basic AM/FM sound, well short of the wireless CarPlay and Android Auto riders expect today. HogPlay outlines the aftermarket CarPlay radio and add-on path built for this fairing's dash.
No Factory CarPlay — Add It Your Way
The 2002 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 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.

The 2002 Ultra Sidecar kept things simple: a full-touring fairing, Tour-Pak, and a driver-side sidecar tug for riders who wanted more stability than two wheels alone without stepping up to a trike. It's a bike built for club rides and cross-country hauls, with a factory dash designed around durability rather than features.
The base radio handled AM/FM duty well enough for 2002, but Apple CarPlay and Android Auto weren't yet a thing on any vehicle, let alone a motorcycle. Riders wanting that functionality today look to an aftermarket CarPlay radio sized for this fairing's opening - Rockford Fosgate and Boss both offer touring units built for exactly this dash, most including wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Pair the new radio with a HogPlay Media Box for Android Auto plus streaming - Netflix, YouTube, YouTube Music, podcasts - straight off an SD card or USB drive. Want mirroring instead of streaming? A HogPlay USB Piglet adds Android Auto with Mirror Link or AirPlay. Not ready to touch the factory radio? A HogPlay Media Screen mounts to the bars instead.
