The 2005 Ultra Classic With Sidecar (Japan) is the final model year before Harley moved to the Harman/Kardon Advanced Audio system, still riding on the familiar 99-05 base radio. That factory unit is fine for AM/FM but has no Apple CarPlay, no Android Auto, and no touchscreen. HogPlay's aftermarket radio path brings both wirelessly to this last-of-its-run sidecar rig.
No Factory CarPlay — Add It Your Way
The 2005 Harley-Davidson Ultra Classic With Sidecar (Japan) shipped with the factory factory touring radio (1999–2005) — a solid unit in its day, but no Apple CarPlay, Android Auto or touchscreen. Fit an aftermarket CarPlay radio (SoundStream, Rockford Fosgate, Boss, Diamond Audio or Aquatic AV) for wireless Apple CarPlay — SoundStream, Boss and Diamond Audio include Android Auto natively, while Rockford Fosgate and Aquatic AV gain it once you add a HogPlay Media Box or Piglet, which also unleash Netflix, YouTube, streaming apps, Mirror Link and AirPlay. No headset bypass needed — that's a factory-radio thing, not aftermarket. Rather not swap the radio? A bar-mounted HogPlay Media Screen adds wireless CarPlay and Android Auto too.

As the closing year of the base-radio run, the 2005 Ultra Classic With Sidecar (Japan) still delivers the same fairing-and-sidecar formula riders count on for long trips with real cargo capacity. The factory 99-05 radio is simple and reliable, but it was built well before Apple CarPlay or Android Auto existed.
An aftermarket CarPlay radio from Rockford Fosgate or Boss brings both onboard in one head unit, dropping into the same fairing opening.
Once a new radio is installed, a HogPlay Media Box adds Netflix, YouTube, YouTube Music, and podcasts from an SD card or USB drive - a real step up in motorcycle media for a rig this age. A USB Piglet is the pick instead for Android Auto with Mirror Link or AirPlay, and a bar-mounted Media Screen rounds out the options for riders keeping the stock radio.
