The 2005 Harley-Davidson FLHRS/I Road King Custom pairs the King's chrome nacelle headlight and laced wheels with a factory-style sidecar, turning a solo tourer into a three-wheeled hauler for two-up-plus-passenger riding. Power comes from the fuel-injected Twin Cam 88, torquey enough to pull the extra weight of a sidecar rig without strain. What this 2005 Road King Custom never had is a screen of any kind — no navigation, no phone integration, nothing past an AM/FM head unit. The HogPlay Media Screen fixes that with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto bolted right to the bars.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2005 Harley-Davidson Road King Custom with Sidecar (FLHRSI) 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.)

Harley built the Road King Custom as the blacked-out, mini-ape-bar alternative to the standard King, and bolting a sidecar to one — like this 2005 FLHRS/I — was a common way to add stability and hauling capacity without stepping up to a full dresser. The Twin Cam 88 underneath shrugs off the added drag, especially with factory EFI keeping the fueling consistent at low speed and heavy load.
The HogPlay Media Screen mounts to the handlebars in roughly the same footprint as a stock gauge, so it clears the sidecar's extra hardware and control linkage without a fight. It wires straight to power and ground — no data-bus tie-in, no dash surgery — and the mount reverses for left- or right-hand bar setups, which matters when cable routing gets tight around a sidecar mount.
Every HogPlay Media Screen runs dual Bluetooth: pair a phone for wireless CarPlay or Android Auto on one channel, and feed a second signal to an auxiliary amp, handlebar speakers, or a portable Bluetooth speaker — handy on a sidecar-equipped 2005 Road King Custom. A built-in speaker covers turn-by-turn prompts and light audio on its own, and the housing is fully sealed, waterproof, and rugged enough for whatever this FLHRS/I sees on the road.
