Install the Dash or Vent Mount

You can use either the Dash Mount or the Vent Mount for your onyX, depending upon your vehicle and the location where you want to place your radio.

CAUTION! Make sure your radio isn’t in a place where it could interfere with driver visibility or safe deployment of the airbags.

IMPORTANT! When you install the chosen mount, do not yet attach the PowerConnect Vehicle Dock to the mount. The cables must be attached prior to connecting the dock to the mount.

Installing the Dash Mount:

CAUTION: The adhesive used on the Dash Mount may be difficult to remove. Do not install this mount on leather surfaces (contact your vehicle dealer if you are unsure about your dash surface), and make sure the air temperature is at least 60ûF (15ûC) during installation. If it’s not at least 60ûF, turn on the heater in your vehicle to bring the temperature up to 60ûF.

1 Locate a flat surface for the Dash Mount. (Options 1, 2, or 3.) Make

sure there is ample room for the dock and radio when installed.

2 Set the orientation of the mount before adhering it. Loosen the

knob and adjust the adhesive foot for the location you selected:

3 The dock mounting plate can be tilted in different directions.

Adjust as necessary for your particular vehicle. When the orientation is correct, tighten the knob.

4 Clean the surface with the alcohol preparation

pad, and let it dry thoroughly.

5 Peel off the adhesive liner. Position, press, and

hold the Dash Mount in place for 30 seconds.

IMPORTANT! Allow the Dash Mount adhesive to cure (dry) for a minimum of 2-4 hours before using the mount. The best adhesion occurs after 24 hours.

Installing the Vent Mount:

1 Locate a suitable vent in your vehicle which is strong enough to

hold the onyX and the PowerConnect Vehicle Dock. (Options 4 or 5.)

2 If the vent louvers are recessed, you’ll have to use the

extended vent hooks. The Vent Mount is assembled with the short vent clamps, so you will have to remove the short clamps and install the extended clamps as shown below.

Mount the Magnetic Mount Antenna

Choose the best location for the antenna considering your vehicle type. Refer to the antenna placement tips and cautions in the User Guide beginning on page 22 .

• Sedan or Coupe: We recommend mounting the antenna just above either the front windshield or the back window.

• Pickup Truck: We recommend mounting the antenna just above the front windshield.

• Convertible: We recommend mounting the antenna at the leading edge of the trunk.

• SUV: We recommend mounting the antenna at the rear of the roof.

CAUTION! STOP and read the more specific instructions in the User Guide for all types of vehicles — or get someone who knows vehicles to help — if you don’t understand what to do. You might accidentally do damage to your vehicle.

Feed the antenna wire under the rubber molding around the front or rear windshield, and into the seal around the trunk or door. For a convertible, the cable can be routed directly into the trunk.

TIP! Use a tool like a blunt plastic putty knife, a credit card, a plastic knife, or a similar blunt tool to help hide wires along the windshield trim.

Hide the Magnetic Mount Antenna Cable Inside the Vehicle

The best place to hide your antenna cable depends on your type of vehicle.

When the antenna is mounted at the rear of the vehicle, it’s usually easiest to run the cable from the rear to the front toward the radio by routing the cable along the interior trim where it meets the carpet, gently pushing it behind the edges of the trim. Bring the cable out from the trim and route it under the carpet toward the dashboard.

When the antenna is mounted at the front of the vehicle, bring the cable into the rubber weather stripping around the door to the bottom of the door opening. Bring the cable out of the weather stripping and route it under the carpet toward the dashboard.

Coil any excess cable in a hidden location, such as under the carpet, keeping it away from any vehicle pedals or controls. Secure the excess cable with wire ties.

Plug the antenna into the silver ANT connection on the rear of the dock.

AUDIO ANT PWR FM

TIP! Avoid damaging or compromising the window, door, and trunk seals.

TIP! For more help, refer to the detailed antenna cable routing instructions for

your type of vehicle, in the User Guide beginning on page 25 .

Decide How to Connect

You will listen to onyX through your vehicle’s stereo system or FM radio. First, onyX must be receiving the XM signal. Ensure your vehicle is outside with the antenna having a clear view of the sky. Your audio connection options are:

• Best: Use the Aux In Cable if your vehicle’s stereo system has an auxiliary input connection. Plug one end of the cable into the green AUDIO connector on the PowerConnect Vehicle Dock and the other end into the vehicle stereo system’s auxiliary input jack. Set the stereo system to play from the auxiliary input source.

AUDIO ANT PWR FM

• Better: Use a Cassette Adapter if your vehicle has a built-in cassette player. Cassette Adapters are sold separately. Plug

the Cassette Adapter into the green AUDIO connector on the PowerConnect Vehicle Dock. Insert the Cassette Adapter into the vehicle’s cassette deck. Set the stereo system to play from the cassette source.

• Good: Use the PowerConnect feature in the onyX. PowerConnect plays the audio through your vehicle’s FM radio. When you have finished step 4 (below), you’ll first need to find an available FM channel in your area, and then you need to ensure that the onyX and your vehicle’s FM radio are tuned to the same available FM channel. (Step 5)

• Best: Use an FM Direct Adapter (FMDA) if none of the above three audio connection options works in your vehicle. The FMDA needs to be installed by a professional installer and directly connects the onyX to your vehicle’s FM radio.

TIP! Refer to your vehicle’s owners manual to find the location of the auxiliary input jack, or consult the vehicle dealer. To learn more about purchasing a Cassette Adapter or FMDA, check with the retailer where you bought your onyX or go to xmradio.com/accessories.

4 Finish the Installation and Power On

Connect the PowerConnect Power Adapter

Insert the PowerConnect Power Adapter into your vehicle’s cigarette lighter or power adapter socket. Then plug it into the red PWR connector on the rear of the dock.

Wire Guide

Attach the Dock to the Mount and the Radio to the Dock

Attach the PowerConnect Vehicle Dock to the mount that you selected. Utilize the wire guide at the rear of the dock to help organize the wire and cables, and make your installation neater.

Place the onyX into the dock. Press the Power button to turn it On.

If you have connected the audio in step 3 using the Aux In Cable or Cassette Adapter, continue with step 6.

Tune the onyX and Vehicle FM Radio to the Same FM Channel

1 Find an Available FM Channel in Your Area

An available FM channel is one that’s not being used by an FM radio station in your area. When you

tune your FM radio to an available channel, you should only hear static or silence – not talk or music. We recommend one of the following methods to find an available FM channel:

a. Use the SIRIUS | XM FM Channel Finder at www.xmradio.com/fmchannel. Go to the website and

enter your zip code. The Channel Finder will suggest a list of available FM channels in your area. For convenience, write down or print out the list.

b. Manually tune through your local FM channels on your vehicle’s FM radio. Locate and create a list of

4 You May Need to Try Other FM Channels on Your List

If the chosen FM channel doesn’t work well for you, work down the list of FM channels until you find

one that allows you to hear XM clearly. Each time, you will need to tune your vehicle’s FM radio and onyX to the same FM channel.

TIP! You may find an FM channel with static or silence that does not work with onyX. It is possible that some type of inaudible interference is present that prevents reception of the onyX broadcast. Your only options are to use another FM channel or a different audio connection method.

NOTE! If you are using the Vehicle Dock from the Universal Xpress Car Kit instead of the PowerConnect Vehicle Dock which came with your onyX, you will have to complete some additional instructions before you can set onyX to transmit on an FM channel. Refer to “Using the Vehicle Dock From the Universal Xpress Car Kit” on page 96 of the User Guide, and complete the instructions. The audio connection will be through your vehicle’s FM radio, but it is not PowerConnect.

channels that aren’t being used by any FM radio station. Write down the list. Once you have created your list of available FM channels, you will need to find the one that provides the best match for onyX.

TIP! You’ll need to use the ‘Manual’ tune function on your vehicle’s FM radio to tune through every FM channel one-by-one. Turn on your vehicle’s FM radio. Start at 88.1 and use the ‘Manual’ tune function on your vehicle’s FM radio to tune through each FM channel one-by-one (88.1 followed by 88.3 etc.) to locate channels that aren’t being used by a local FM radio station. Write down each FM channel that has only static or silence on it, until you reach 107.9.
