The 2005 Harley-Davidson FLTR/I Road Glide, built here in sidecar trim, is the bike that broke from the batwing crowd — its frame-mounted "shark-nose" fairing turns with the front wheel instead of the bars, giving a sidecar rig steadier, more predictable handling at speed. Power comes from the rubber-mounted Twin Cam 88, delivering the low-rev, high-torque pull that three-wheel touring demands. What it doesn't have is a factory radio or screen. The fix is the 7-inch HogPlay Media Screen, a bar-mounted unit that brings this 2005 Road Glide sidecar rig into the smartphone era.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2005 Harley-Davidson Road Glide with Sidecar (FLTRI) 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 Road Glide with a sidecar attached changes the math on stability, steering effort, and what you actually want from a cockpit — mostly navigation you can glance at and audio you can hear over wind and traffic, without fumbling a phone while managing three wheels. That's the gap the Twin Cam 88-powered '05 FLTR/I was never built to fill on its own.
The HogPlay Media Screen mounts to the handlebar clamp or perch, well clear of the frame-mounted fairing, and wires to switched power and ground — a straightforward tap most owners handle themselves. It pairs wirelessly with your phone for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, so turn-by-turn directions and calls land right on the bars. The mount is fully reversible, so nothing about the original setup is permanently altered.
No factory radio on this 2005 Road Glide sidecar rig? The HogPlay Media Screen solves it with 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 for real volume. A small built-in speaker handles turn-by-turn voice prompts and light audio on its own. Sealed, waterproof, and rugged, it's built to shrug off rain, road grime, and everything a sidecar rig throws at it.
