Marking Harley-Davidson's 105th anniversary, the 2008 Ultra Classic ANV With Sidecar (Japan) pairs commemorative styling with the Harman/Kardon Advanced Audio system in its fairing. That radio delivers good sound for the era but has no Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. HogPlay's aftermarket CarPlay radio gives this anniversary sidecar rig the wireless phone integration it never had from the factory.
No Factory CarPlay — Add It Your Way
The 2008 Harley-Davidson Ultra Classic ANV With Sidecar (Japan) shipped with the factory Harman/Kardon Advanced Audio — a solid unit in its day, but no Apple CarPlay, Android Auto or touchscreen. Fit an aftermarket CarPlay radio (SoundStream, Rockford Fosgate, Boss, Diamond Audio or Aquatic AV) for wireless Apple CarPlay — SoundStream, Boss and Diamond Audio include Android Auto natively, while Rockford Fosgate and Aquatic AV gain it once you add a HogPlay Media Box or Piglet, which also unleash Netflix, YouTube, streaming apps, Mirror Link and AirPlay. No headset bypass needed — that's a factory-radio thing, not aftermarket. Rather not swap the radio? A bar-mounted HogPlay Media Screen adds wireless CarPlay and Android Auto too.

The 2008 Ultra Classic ANV With Sidecar (Japan) carries 105th anniversary trim on top of an already well-equipped touring package, complete with the Harman/Kardon Advanced Audio system and the stability of a factory sidecar. What it doesn't have is any way to run Apple CarPlay or Android Auto through that radio, since it predates smartphone integration by years.
An aftermarket CarPlay radio built for the Ultra Classic fairing, from a brand like Aquatic AV or SoundStream, replaces the head unit while most models bring wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto onboard from day one. It's a straightforward swap that keeps the anniversary bike's fairing lines intact.
Add a HogPlay Media Box for Android Auto plus a full slate of motorcycle media, including Netflix, YouTube, YouTube Music and podcasts, all playable from a USB drive or SD card. A HogPlay USB Piglet covers Android Auto with Mirror Link and AirPlay mirroring, and a HogPlay Media Screen works for riders keeping the factory Harman/Kardon unit in place.
