The 2006 Harley-Davidson FLHR/I Road King paired with a sidecar turns Milwaukee's classic touring silhouette into a three-wheeled road machine built for hauling a passenger — or a dog — in style. Under the tank sits the fuel-injected Twin Cam 88, the last year of that 88-cube big twin before the Twin Cam 96 took over, delivering the low-rev torque a loaded sidecar rig needs to pull cleanly away from a stop. Harley never built a screen into this era's Road King dash, so wiring in the HogPlay Media Screen is the easiest way to bring Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to a 2006 Road King with Sidecar rig.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2006 Harley-Davidson Road King with Sidecar (FLHRI) 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.)

A sidecar changes how you ride a Road King — steering input, throttle timing, and braking all shift once that third wheel is bolted on, and the fuel-injected Twin Cam 88 under the FLHR/I's tank is tuned for steady, predictable power delivery rather than a peaky top end, which suits a loaded rig better than a sudden surge would. What the factory dash never offered on this 2006 bike was any kind of screen or infotainment, which is where the HogPlay Media Screen comes in.
The 7-inch unit mounts right to the handlebars, so it stays in your sightline whether you're riding solo or hauling a passenger in the chair. Installation is a straightforward two-wire tap into power and ground — no dash surgery, no splicing into the Road King's factory harness — and the mount reverses, so the screen works whether your bars are set up for sidecar-specific lean geometry or a standard riding position.
