The 2008 Ultra Sidecar arrived in Harley's 105th Anniversary model year, running the Harman/Kardon Advanced Audio system introduced two seasons earlier. That factory setup still tops out at AM/FM/CD - no Apple CarPlay, no Android Auto, on this or any other Harley radio of the era. HogPlay outlines the aftermarket CarPlay radio path built for this anniversary-year fairing.
No Factory CarPlay — Add It Your Way
The 2008 Harley-Davidson Ultra Sidecar 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 on-board CarPlay and Android Auto, then a HogPlay Media Box unleashes Netflix, YouTube and streaming apps and a Piglet adds 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 too.

The 2008 Ultra Sidecar arrived in Harley's 105th Anniversary model year, running the Harman/Kardon Advanced Audio system on the same stable three-wheel touring platform riders had trusted for years. Special anniversary trim aside, the fairing dash worked the same as any other year in this generation - solid factory sound, no smartphone integration.
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto were still years from existing on any vehicle in 2008, factory Harley radios included. Riders wanting that functionality on this anniversary-year fairing today install an aftermarket CarPlay radio built for the dash opening - Boss and Aquatic AV both offer touring units for this fairing with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto standard.
From there, a HogPlay Media Box adds Android Auto plus Netflix, YouTube, YouTube Music, and podcast streaming from an SD card or USB drive - no phone data burned. A HogPlay USB Piglet is the pick for Android Auto with Mirror Link or AirPlay mirroring. Riders who'd rather keep the factory Harman/Kardon radio can add a HogPlay Media Screen to the bars instead.
HogPlay Media Boxes work on Diamond Audio, Boss Audio, Rockford Fosgate, SoundStream and Aquatic AV aftermarket radios to unlock apps, streaming and more — it's not just for factory screens. Running an aftermarket head unit? See the matching aftermarket radio pages.
