The 2009 Harley-Davidson Road King (FLHR) paired with a sidecar is old-school touring done right — full-fendered, spoke-wheeled, and built for the long haul with a third wheel bolted on for hauling a passenger or extra gear in style. Power comes from the fuel-injected Twin Cam 96 big twin, a torquey 96-cubic-inch V-twin that pulls hard from idle, exactly what a loaded rig like this needs. What it doesn't have is a screen: no GPS, no CarPlay, no Bluetooth. The fix for this 2009 Road King sidecar rig is the 7-inch HogPlay Media Screen bolted to the bars.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2009 Harley-Davidson Road King with Sidecar (FLHR) 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.)

A sidecar-equipped Road King is a different animal than a solo tourer — the extra wheel changes the handling, adds weight, and turns every ride into a three-wheeled commitment, which is exactly why riders lean on this platform for long-distance hauling and passenger comfort. The 2009 FLHR's Twin Cam 96 carries that load without complaint, and the factory saddlebags and windshield round out the touring package. What's missing is any way to run navigation or music without pulling out a phone.
Mounting the HogPlay Media Screen solves that cleanly. The 7-inch unit clamps to the handlebars, wires straight to a switched power source and ground, and pairs wirelessly for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. No factory harness to splice into, no dash to cut — and because the mount is reversible, it comes off just as easily if the bike changes hands.
