The 2005 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide with Sidecar paired the big-bagger Electra Glide platform with sidecar-specific geometry — heavier-duty forks, a wider stance, and suspension tuned to haul a third wheel down the highway. Power came from the Twin Cam 88, the workhorse V-twin that carried Harley's touring line through the mid-2000s. What this rig never got was a modern screen: no CarPlay, no Android Auto, no GPS on the bar. The HogPlay Media Screen bolts on and fixes that in an afternoon.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2005 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide with Sidecar (FLHT) 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.)

Riding a sidecar rig changes the math — more weight, more surface area, a machine built for stability over lean angle, and the FLHT's Twin Cam 88 was tuned for exactly that kind of steady, torque-first pulling power rather than outright speed. It's a bike built to log highway miles two-up, or three with a hack attached, which is exactly where a modern screen earns its keep.
The HogPlay Media Screen mounts to the handlebar with a standard clamp, so it works around the wider bar geometry sidecar rigs often run. Wiring is simple: tap power and ground, done. The mount is reversible, so it can move rider-side or be repositioned without redrilling anything, letting you find the angle that clears the sidecar linkage and controls.
On the 2005 FLHT Sidecar, the HogPlay Media Screen runs dual Bluetooth — one channel pairs your phone for wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, the other feeds an auxiliary amp, handlebar speakers, or a portable Bluetooth speaker. A built-in speaker covers turn-by-turn voice prompts and light audio on its own. The whole unit is fully sealed and waterproof, rugged enough for long sidecar miles in any weather.
