The 2006 Harley-Davidson Road King (FLHR) rolling on a sidecar pairs old-school touring style — deep-valanced fenders, chrome spoke wheels, and that upright, wind-in-your-face stance — with the stability of a third wheel, all driven by the Twin Cam 88, the last year of that big twin before Harley moved to the Twin Cam 96 in 2007. Factory rigs like this never got a radio or screen of any kind. Bolt on the HogPlay Media Screen and this 2006 Road King sidecar hack finally gets wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for the whole ride.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2006 Harley-Davidson Road King with Sidecar (FLHR) 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 built the Road King as the purist's tourer — no batwing fairing, just bars, tank-mounted gauges, and enough big-twin torque to haul a sidecar all day long. The Twin Cam 88 under this 2006 FLHR delivers the steady low-rev pull that sidecar rigs depend on for tracking straight at speed. HogPlay's 7-inch screen clamps right to the handlebars in the rider's line of sight, taps into a 12V accessory or ignition-switched wire for power plus a ground, and mounts reversibly, so nothing about the stock cockpit or the sidecar hookup is permanently altered.
Once it's wired in, the screen turns this Road King hack into a modern-feeling rig with navigation, music, and hands-free calls, without cutting into the frame, tank, or factory wiring harness.
