The 2005 Ultra Sidecar closed out the base-radio chapter of this touring platform before Harman/Kardon audio arrived the following year. It's a stable, well-sorted three-wheel tourer with a factory radio that was fine for AM/FM in its day but has no route to Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. HogPlay shows the aftermarket CarPlay radio path - and the Media Box streaming behind it - built for this fairing.
No Factory CarPlay — Add It Your Way
The 2005 Harley-Davidson Ultra Sidecar 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 on-board CarPlay and Android Auto, then a HogPlay Media Box unleashes Netflix, YouTube and streaming apps and a Piglet adds 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 too.
We also stock universal parts that fit the 2005 Harley-Davidson Ultra Sidecar and most other motorcycles — standalone CarPlay screens and universal USB power.

The 2005 Ultra Sidecar closed out the base-radio chapter of this touring-with-a-tug platform, the last model year before Harman/Kardon audio arrived in 2006. It's a well-sorted three-wheel tourer, built for riders who wanted stability and cargo room over speed, with a factory dash that stuck to the basics through this final base-radio year.
That factory radio delivered dependable AM/FM sound, but Apple CarPlay and Android Auto simply didn't exist for any vehicle in 2005. Riders modernizing this fairing today reach for an aftermarket CarPlay radio built for the dash opening - Rockford Fosgate and Diamond Audio both offer units sized for this fairing with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto standard.
From there, a HogPlay Media Box adds Android Auto plus Netflix, YouTube, YouTube Music, and podcasts playing from an SD card or USB drive - no phone data used. A HogPlay USB Piglet covers Android Auto with Mirror Link or AirPlay screen mirroring instead. Or leave the factory radio in place and add a bar-mounted HogPlay Media Screen.
HogPlay Media Boxes work on Diamond Audio, Boss Audio, Rockford Fosgate, SoundStream and Aquatic AV aftermarket radios to unlock apps, streaming and more — it's not just for factory screens. Running an aftermarket head unit? See the matching aftermarket radio pages.
