The 2005 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Classic with Sidecar pairs the Electra Glide Classic's full touring fairing, hard saddlebags, and chrome-laden classic styling with a factory-ready sidecar setup, powered by the era's rubber-mounted Twin Cam 88 big twin. Built for long-haul comfort with a third wheel in tow, this rig left the factory without a screen or navigation-capable head unit, so riders had no way to run phone audio or turn-by-turn directions. The HogPlay Media Screen bolts to the bars and fixes that, bringing wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to this 2005 FLHTC.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2005 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Classic with Sidecar (FLHTC) 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's Electra Glide Classic was the touring flagship of the mid-2000s, and the sidecar-equipped FLHTC took that formula further, adding the stability and hauling capacity of a third wheel for two-up riding and extra cargo. The Twin Cam 88 under the tank delivers the low-end torque needed to pull the added weight of a sidecar rig without losing the smooth, long-legged cruising this bike was built for.
Installing the HogPlay Media Screen is straightforward: the 7-inch unit clamps to the handlebars in clear view of the rider, wires to a switched power source and ground, and pairs wirelessly with a phone once mounted. No dash cutting or fairing modification is needed, and the mount is fully reversible if the bike is ever returned to stock.
