The 2004 Ultra Sidecar carried the touring-with-a-tug formula forward largely unchanged, still a favorite for riders hauling a passenger or dog on long-distance rides. The factory radio offered straightforward AM/FM listening but no way to run Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. HogPlay details the aftermarket radio swap and streaming options that fit this fairing today.
No Factory CarPlay — Add It Your Way
The 2004 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 2004 Harley-Davidson Ultra Sidecar and most other motorcycles — standalone CarPlay screens and universal USB power.

The 2004 Ultra Sidecar carried the touring-with-a-tug formula forward with no major changes, still a favorite among riders hauling a passenger, dog, or gear on long-distance rides where three-wheel stability matters. The fairing dash is built for durability, not features - exactly what riders expected from a factory radio in 2004.
That radio handled AM/FM playback fine, but Apple CarPlay and Android Auto were nowhere close to existing yet. Riders bringing this sidecar rig up to modern standards typically start with an aftermarket CarPlay radio sized for the factory opening - SoundStream and Boss both build touring units for this dash with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto included.
Add a HogPlay Media Box to that new radio and pick up Android Auto plus Netflix, YouTube, YouTube Music, and podcast streaming from an SD card or USB drive. Prefer mirroring over streaming? A HogPlay USB Piglet adds Android Auto with Mirror Link or AirPlay. Riders who'd rather not swap the radio can mount a HogPlay Media Screen to the bars instead.
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.
