The 2005 Harley-Davidson Road King (FLHR/FLHRI) built for a sidecar rig is a different animal than a solo tourer — that third wheel changes everything about how the bike steers, brakes, and hauls, and it's why sidecar riders lean on this chassis in the first place. Power comes from the Twin Cam 88, carbureted on the FLHR or fuel-injected on the FLHRI, both rated for the extra load a hack puts on the driveline. What the 2005 Road King never got is a factory radio or infotainment screen. The fix is the 7-inch bar-mounted HogPlay Media Screen.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2005 Harley-Davidson Road King with Sidecar (FLHRI) 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.)

Road King sidecar rigs were built for the long haul — wide bars, a big windshield, and a chassis stiffened up to carry a third wheel down the interstate all day. That kind of mileage is exactly where navigation and music matter most, and it's exactly what the factory dash on a 2005 FLHR/I never offered. The HogPlay Media Screen mounts right to those wide bars in clear sight, so a sidecar hack gets the same modern cockpit a current touring model ships with.
Install is straightforward on this platform: the screen clamps to the handlebar, taps into switched power and ground, and that's it — no dash cutting, no tapping into a factory harness that doesn't exist. It mounts reversible too, so the unit can be flipped for a different bar angle or handlebar setup without any extra hardware.
Every 2005 Road King sidecar build gets the same core upgrade: the HogPlay Media Screen, running dual Bluetooth so a phone pairs wirelessly for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto on one channel while a second channel feeds an auxiliary amp, handlebar speakers, or a portable Bluetooth speaker. A built-in speaker handles turn-by-turn voice prompts and light audio on its own, no extra wiring needed. The housing is fully sealed and waterproof, built rugged enough for whatever the road throws at a sidecar rig.
