The 2008 Harley-Davidson FLTR Road Glide is the one with the frame-mounted "shark-nose" fairing instead of a fork-mount unit, a look that set it apart from the Electra Glide crowd, and this one's rigged for a sidecar — a long-haul three-wheel setup built for miles, not just weekend loops. Under the tank sits the Twin Cam 96, the 1584cc big twin that became standard across Harley's touring line in 2007. What this 2008 Road Glide never got is a factory radio or screen. The fix is the HogPlay Media Screen, a bar-mounted 7-inch touchscreen that finally brings Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to a bike this era wasn't built for.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2008 Harley-Davidson Road Glide with Sidecar (FLTR) 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.)

Sidecar rigs like this one live at low RPM and steady highway speed, hauling extra weight and covering serious distance, which is exactly where turn-by-turn navigation and hands-free calling earn their keep. The FLTR's fairing gives you wind protection up front, but with a sidecar attached and no OEM infotainment, riders have historically been stuck fumbling with a phone mount or riding without music or directions at all.
The HogPlay Media Screen mounts to the handlebars in clear view, wires straight to a 12V power source and ground, and runs wireless CarPlay and Android Auto off your phone with no cables to snag. It's a reversible install, meaning nothing about the FLTR's stock wiring or dash gets cut or permanently altered, so a sidecar owner who eventually sells or swaps the rig can pull it clean.
Every HogPlay Media Screen runs dual Bluetooth, so your 2008 FLTR Road Glide sidecar rig can pair a phone for wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto on one channel while a second channel feeds an auxiliary amp, handlebar speakers, or a portable Bluetooth speaker for real volume out on the highway. A small built-in speaker handles turn-by-turn voice prompts and light audio on its own if you'd rather skip the extra gear. The whole unit is sealed, waterproof, and built to shrug off rain, road grime, and long days in the wind — sidecar duty included.
