The 2009 Harley-Davidson FLHRC Road King Classic keeps the touring lineup's original silhouette alive with valanced fenders, laced wire wheels, and a leather-wrapped saddle, all riding on the Twin Cam 96 big twin that powered Road Kings from 2007 through the pre-Milwaukee-Eight era. This particular rig adds a sidecar, turning the Road King Classic's easy highway manners into a genuine three-wheel touring platform. What it never got from the factory is a radio or infotainment display of any kind. The fix is the bar-mounted HogPlay Media Screen, bringing this 2009 Road King Classic and its sidecar into the CarPlay era.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2009 Harley-Davidson Road King Classic with Sidecar (FLHRC) 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.)

Road King Classic buyers in 2009 chose this model specifically for its stripped-back, old-school touring look — no fork-mounted fairing, no batwing, just a headlamp nacelle, leather saddlebags, and the Twin Cam 96's steady low-end pull. Add a sidecar to that formula and the bike becomes something closer to a three-wheeled family hauler, stable at low speed and happy to log highway miles all day. None of that changes the fact that the dash never had a place for a screen or a stereo.
The HogPlay Media Screen solves it without touching the sidecar or the stock bodywork. The 7-inch unit clamps to the handlebar, runs a power and ground wire back to the battery, and connects wirelessly to a phone for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto once it's on. It's a reversible install, so this Road King Classic can go back to its original bars-and-nacelle look any time.
