The 2008 Harley-Davidson FLHTC Electra Glide Classic Sidecar rig is a full-dress tourer built for the long haul, adding a third wheel for stability, cargo capacity, and passenger comfort on cross-country runs. Power comes from the Twin Cam 96 big twin, delivering steady, torquey pull to haul the extra weight of the hack with ease. What this 2008 FLHTC didn't come with is a screen: no factory infotainment, no CarPlay, just analog gauges and a stock radio head unit. The fix is the 7-inch HogPlay Media Screen, bar-mounted and ready to bring wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to a rig that predates all of it.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2008 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Classic with Sidecar (FLHTC) 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 sidecar outfit changes the math on a bike — three-wheel handling, added weight, and long, straight-line touring miles where navigation and music matter more than ever. The 2008 FLHTC's Twin Cam 96 was built exactly for this kind of duty: low-end torque and smooth delivery over distance rather than outright horsepower. HogPlay's Media Screen slots onto the handlebar clamp of this Electra Glide Classic Sidecar without touching the factory dash or fairing, so the stock look stays intact.
Installation is simple: mount the bracket to the bars, run two wires to power and ground, and you're done. It's fully reversible, so nothing about the original 2008 setup is permanently altered — pull it off and the bike is stock again. Once wired in, the sidecar rig gets phone-based navigation, calls, and music on a bright touchscreen that ignores the fact this bike never had one from the factory.
Add the HogPlay Media Screen to your 2008 FLHTC Sidecar and get wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto by pairing your phone over one Bluetooth channel, while a second channel simultaneously feeds an auxiliary amp, handlebar speakers, or a portable Bluetooth speaker for real volume on the road. A small built-in speaker handles turn-by-turn voice prompts and light audio right off the mount, no external speaker required. Because sidecar miles mean rain, road grime, and long exposure, the unit is fully sealed and waterproof, built rugged enough to shrug off whatever the elements throw at this Electra Glide Classic rig.
