The 2009 Harley-Davidson FLHTC Electra Glide Classic Sidecar is a full-dress tourer built to run all day, its Twin Cam 96 big twin turning behind that classic batwing fairing while a chrome-laden sidecar hangs off the right side for two-up (or three-up) comfort on the open road. Factory audio on these rigs was tape-deck-era AM/FM at best, with zero support for a smartphone. The HogPlay Media Screen bolts to the bar and brings wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to this 2009 FLHTC without touching the stock wiring harness.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2009 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Classic with Sidecar (FLHTC) 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.)

Riding a sidecar rig changes the math on a touring bike — extra weight, extra drag, and a factory sound system from 2009 that was never built for turn-by-turn navigation or streaming. The FLHTC's Twin Cam 96 has the low-end torque to haul the extra wheel and passenger, but the electronics under that tank are strictly analog. The HogPlay Media Screen mounts to the handlebar in plain view of the rider, wires straight to a switched power and ground source, and pairs wirelessly with an iPhone or Android phone for CarPlay or Android Auto.
No cutting into the factory harness and no relay boxes to fuss with — just two wires and a bar clamp. Because the mount is reversible, it comes off clean if the bike or the sidecar ever changes hands.
