Step 1: Choose a Location for Your Radio
When installing the Xpress block your vision, interfere with the controls, or obstruct the air bag. The location should be easily accessible and provide good visibility of the display, and should not be located where it will be in direct sunlight, which will affect the visibility of the display screen.
Several examples of the Xpress method using the Dash Mount, and B is the vent clip method using the Vent Mount.

Step 2: Install the Dash or Vent Mount
Depending on your situation, you can either choose to use the Dash Mount or the Vent Mount.
IMPORTANT! When you install the chosen mount, do not attach the dock to the mount yet. All cables should be attached to the dock 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.
18
1 Locate a flat surface for the Dash Mount. Make sure there is ample room
for the PowerConnect Vehicle Dock and Xpress
RCi
Radio when installed.
2 Set the orientation of the Dash Mount before adhering it. Loosen the
knob and adjust the adhesive foot for the location you selected in “Step 1: Choose a Location for Your Radio” on page 16:
•Option 1 & Option 3 should be oriented as I.
I II
•Option 2 should be oriented as II.
3 The dock mounting plate can be tilted in different directions.
Knob Adhesive Foot Dock Mounting Plate
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.
TIP! To remove, carefully lift the adhesive pad with your fingers or a spoon. Warming the pad with a hair dryer for several minutes will help soften the adhesive. Be careful not overheat the surface with the hair dryer or you may damage the surface or Dash Mount.

Extended Vent Clamps
Installing the Vent Mount:
1 Locate a vent with horizontal
louvers sturdy enough to hold your PowerConnect Vehicle Dock and radio.
2 If the vent louvers in your vehicle
are recessed, you may need to use the longer vent clamps with the Vent Mount. If so, remove the shorter vent clamps and install the longer ones into the Vent Mount. Be sure to observe the orientation of the vent clamps as shown.

Step 3: Mount the Magnetic Mount Antenna
The Magnetic Mount Antenna contains a strong magnet which will stick to any metal part of your vehicle, but will not damage the vehicle.
To install the Magnetic Mount Antenna:
1 Choose the best location for your antenna considering
your vehicle type. Pay particular attention to any accessories that you may have like luggage racks and how frequently you may use them.
Magnet
Sedan/Coupe: We recommend mounting the antenna just above either
the front windshield or the back window as shown.
22
SUV: We recommend mounting the antenna at the rear of the roof
as shown.
Convertible: We recommend mounting the antenna at the leading
edge of the trunk as shown.
Pickup Truck: We recommend
mounting the antenna just above the front windshield as shown.
2 Clean the surface of the selected
mounting location using the alcohol preparation pad and let it dry thoroughly.
23
Vehicle Installation
3 Place the antenna in the location you selected. Follow the Tips and
Cautions shown on the next several pages.
TIP! Mount the antenna on the roof (for most vehicles) or trunk (for convertibles) where it has a clear view of the sky in all directions.
24
CAUTION! Don’t mount the antenna inside the vehicle, for example, on the dashboard.
CAUTION! Don’t mount the antenna on any of the vehicle’s front, back or side pillars.
CAUTION! Don’t mount the antenna close to a roof rack. Adjust the rack so it’s further away from the antenna or move the antenna closer to the center of the roof.
25
Vehicle Installation
CAUTION! Don’t mount the antenna close to another antenna. Mount it at least 3 inches away.
