The 2005 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Classic with Sidecar pairs Harley's touring-grade Electra Glide Classic with a factory-fitted sidecar rig, putting three wheels under the fuel-injected Twin Cam 88 and turning solo highway miles into steady three-up runs or low-speed hauling. It's a rig built for stability over speed, and that utilitarian rider-plus-sidecar layout keeps the cockpit simple, with no built-in navigation or phone mirroring. Bolt on the HogPlay Media Screen and this 2005 Electra Glide Classic with Sidecar gets real Apple CarPlay and Android Auto without touching the wiring harness or the fairing.

No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen

The 2005 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Classic with Sidecar (FLHTCI) 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.)

We also stock universal parts that fit the 2005 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Classic with Sidecar (FLHTCI) and most other motorcycles — standalone CarPlay screens and universal USB power.

About the 2005 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Classic with Sidecar (FLHTCI)

Sidecar rigs like this one demand extra attention at low speed and in crosswinds, since the third wheel changes how the bike leans and tracks — steady, predictable audio and turn-by-turn guidance matter more here than on a solo tourer. The HogPlay Media Screen mounts to the handlebar, leaving the factory fairing and gauges untouched, and wires straight to a switched power source and ground, a straightforward afternoon job on a bike this mechanically simple.

Because the mount is reversible, nothing about the FLHTC/I's stock fairing, wiring, or resale value gets altered — pull it off and the bike goes right back to stock in minutes.
