Step 1: Choose a Location for Your Radio
When installing the onyX in your vehicle, choose a location where it will not 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 onyX mounted in a vehicle are shown: A is the on dash
method using the Dash Mount, and B is the vent clip method using the Vent Mount.

Vehicle Installation
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. 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.
1 Locate a flat surface for the Dash Mount. Make sure there is ample
room for the PowerConnect Vehicle Dock and onyX 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 14:
•Option 1 & Option 3
should be oriented
as I.
•Option 2 should be
oriented as II.

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

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.
Sedan/Coupe: We recommend mounting the antenna just above either
the front windshield or the back window as shown.
Magnet
20
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.
21
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.
22
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.
23
Vehicle Installation
CAUTION! Don’t mount the antenna
close to another antenna. Mount it at
least 3 inches away.

Step 4: Route the Magnetic Mount Antenna Cable
Before you begin routing the antenna cable, read these general instructions
for how to route and hide the antenna cable. Then route your antenna cable
according to the instructions which follow for your specific type of vehicle.

a plastic knife, or a similar blunt tool to lift the

Vehicle Installation
• Sedan/Coupe With Antenna Placed at the Rear of the Roof:
1. Feed the antenna cable from the antenna underneath the rubber
molding around the rear window. Use a blunt plastic putty knife or
similar blunt tool to lift the rubber molding around the rear window
and tuck the antenna cable underneath the molding. Route the
antenna cable around and down the window to the lowest point. If
your rear window does not have rubber molding, we recommend
consulting a professional installer.
2. Route the antenna cable out of the window molding and into the
rubber weather stripping around the trunk opening. Lift the weather
stripping from the opening and tuck the cable inside it, then replace
the weather stripping. To avoid sharp bends in the cable, run the
cable inside the weather stripping for a few inches, then remove the
cable from the weather stripping inside the trunk. Keep the cable
away from hinges, gears, etc., that could damage it.
3. Route the cable out from the rubber weather stripping and along
the trunk wall. Continue
routing the cable into
the vehicle cabin through
a conduit or along an
existing wiring harness.
4. Route the cable through
the main cabin area under
the interior trim, towards
the front of the vehicle.
Use a blunt plastic putty
