The 2005 Harley-Davidson Road King (FLHR) set up for sidecar duty pairs the model's signature full-length front fender, wide solo saddle, and laced wheels with the reinforced mounts and suspension tuning that let it run a rig steady at speed. Power comes from the air-cooled Twin Cam 88, the workhorse V-twin Harley fitted across its Touring line from 1999 through 2006. This 2005 Road King left the factory with no radio or infotainment of any kind — the HogPlay Media Screen bolts to the bars and brings wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to the cockpit in an afternoon.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2005 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.)

Sidecar-prepped Road Kings like this 2005 FLHR were built to haul: a wider stance, stiffer suspension settings, and the low, planted geometry that keeps a three-wheel rig manageable in traffic and on the highway. The tradeoff was a cockpit that stayed strictly analog — a speedometer, a handful of idiot lights, and nothing in the way of navigation or music, whether you're riding solo or with a passenger tucked in the chair.
The HogPlay Media Screen mounts to the handlebars, so it never touches the frame, the sidecar hardware, or the factory wiring harness. Run one wire to a switched power source and one to ground, and the 7-inch touchscreen is live with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto. The bar mount is fully reversible, so nothing about the sidecar rig or the bike's original look is permanently changed.
Beyond turn-by-turn directions and calls, the HogPlay Media Screen runs two Bluetooth connections at once — one paired to your phone for wireless CarPlay or Android Auto, the other free to feed a handlebar speaker, portable Bluetooth speaker, or auxiliary amp. A small built-in speaker keeps voice prompts and light audio audible on its own. Sealed and waterproof, it's built to handle whatever weather this 2005 Road King sidecar rig rides through.
