The 2008 Harley-Davidson FLHX Street Glide was still fresh off its 2006 debut as the factory's stripped-down, frame-mounted-fairing bagger, running the smooth, counter-balanced Twin Cam 96 under its tank. Fitted with a sidecar, this particular rig trades solo lean-and-go handling for three-wheel stability and extra cargo room — but the factory electronics never got past a basic AM/FM head unit. No CarPlay, no Android Auto, no navigation. The fix is a bar-mounted HogPlay Media Screen that brings modern phone connectivity to a bike that predates it.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2008 Harley-Davidson Street Glide with Sidecar (FLHX) 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.)

By 2008 the FLHX had settled into its identity: shotgun dual exhaust, a frame-mounted fairing instead of the fork-mounted setup on other Touring models, and the Twin Cam 96's easy low-end torque through a six-speed. Add a sidecar and the whole character changes again — this is a planted, three-wheeled hauler built for long miles with a passenger or gear in tow, not a bike built to be flicked through corners. What it shares with every other pre-infotainment Harley is a dashboard that stops at radio and not much else.
The HogPlay Media Screen bolts to the handlebars, taps a switched 12V power source and a solid ground, and needs nothing cut or spliced into the stock harness. Once wired, it pairs wirelessly with a phone for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto right at the bars. The install is fully reversible, so the sidecar rig's stock wiring and resale value stay untouched — pull the mount and the FLHX is back to original in minutes.
Bolted to the bars with a simple power-and-ground hookup, the HogPlay Media Screen gives this 2008 FLHX Street Glide sidecar rig the connectivity it never came with. Dual Bluetooth handles two jobs at once — wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto from a paired phone on one channel, while the other feeds an auxiliary amp, handlebar speakers, or a portable Bluetooth speaker. A small built-in speaker covers turn-by-turn voice prompts and light audio on its own, and the fully sealed, waterproof housing is rugged enough for whatever the road and weather throw at it.
