The 2003 Harley-Davidson Road King (FLHR) landed in the brand's 100th Anniversary year, and hitched to a sidecar it becomes a proper three-wheel touring rig: valanced fenders, exposed front forks, and the torque-heavy pull of the air-cooled Twin Cam 88 doing the work of hauling a passenger car alongside the bike. Like every Road King from this era, it rolled off the line with no radio, screen, or infotainment of any kind. Drop in the HogPlay Media Screen and this 2003 Road King with Sidecar outfit finally gets wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2003 Harley-Davidson Road King with Sidecar (FLHR) left the factory with no radio, stereo or touchscreen to bypass — so instead of a workaround, you add your own. A standalone HogPlay Media Screen is a 7-inch head unit with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, live Maps & Waze navigation, calls and streaming built in — we recommend the Screen 7 Pro with its onboard DVR drive-cam. Most riders settle for Bluetooth-only kits that leave the phone in your pocket with no turn-by-turn directions; this puts it all on the bars instead. It mounts to the handlebars with basic power and ground and comes off just as easily, so reach out to the HogPlay team if you'd like a hand. (Media Box support on Screens is in development.)

The Road King's whole appeal is that stripped-down, classic-cruiser stance, and a sidecar only reinforces it — this is a bike built for long, planted miles rather than modern tech. That's exactly the gap the HogPlay Media Screen fills. The 7-inch unit clamps to the handlebars, well clear of the sidecar's third wheel and linkage, so the mounting point stays untouched by the rig's extra hardware.
Wiring is simple: two leads run to power and ground, with no factory harness to splice into or dash to modify. The screen mounts reversibly, so it comes off clean if this Twin Cam 88 Road King ever goes back to solo duty without the sidecar.
