WARNING! DO NOT attempt to install Edge while driving. Park your vehicle in a safe location before beginning installation.
Step 1: Choose a Location for Your Radio
When installing Edge 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 Edge 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.

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 15ºC (60ºF) during installation. If it’s not at least 15ºC (60ºF), turn on the heater in your vehicle to bring the temperature up to 15ºC (60ºF).
1 Locate a flat surface for the Dash Mount. Make sure there is ample room
for the PowerConnect Vehicle Dock and Edge 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. 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.
3 Push the Vent Mount onto the vehicle vent as shown (1) until it hooks on
the rear of the vent louver (2).
4 Rest the foot against the bottom of the vent (2), and adjust the tilt of the
Vent Mount by repositioning the foot to a different adjustment hole (3).
To remove the Vent Mount, push the mount into the vent. Then lift up until disengaged from the rear of the vent louver, and remove the Vent Mount.

Step 3: Mount the Magnetic Mount Antenna
Mount the Magnetic Mount Antenna on the outside of your vehicle, on a horizontal surface that will always face the sky. The 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.
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.
IMPORTANT! Consult a professional installer if your vehicle roof or hood is non-metallic (i.e., fiberglass), or you have difficulty finding a location for your antenna.
2 Clean the surface of the selected mounting
location using the alcohol preparation pad and let it dry thoroughly.

Vehicle Installation
22 23
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.
4 Place the antenna in the location you selected. Follow the Tips and
Cautions shown on the next several pages.
3 If you are installing the antenna at the roof edge, or hood edge, install the
Cable Routing Adapter to direct the antenna cable downward.

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.
CAUTION! Don’t mount the antenna close to another antenna. Mount it at least 7.5 cm (3 in) 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.
Feed cable under rubber moulding around window
Tuck the cable under the
moulding around the window
Use a blunt plastic putty knife, a credit card,
a plastic knife, or a similar blunt tool to lift the
rubber window moulding
Route cable out from under rear windshield
moulding and tuck into weatherstripping around trunk opening
Pull weatherstripping from trunk opening
Tuck cable into weatherstripping. Route cable through weatherstripping several inches to avoid sharp bends
Pull cable out of weatherstripping and route through trunk to cabin
Avoid sharp bends by running cable through weatherstripping for several inches
Route cable out of window moulding and into weather­stripping around trunk opening
Vehicle Installation

Bring cable out of weatherstripping and into trunk
Route cable along trunk wall and into cabin through gap or conduit, along existing wiring harness
Route cable along trunk wall and into cabin
Use a blunt plastic putty
knife or similar blunt tool
to lift edge of interior
trim and tuck cable
under trim. Continue
towards front of vehicle
Route cable from trunk under interior trim, into cabin and towards front of vehicle
Route cable under trim or upholstery
Continue routing cable under trim or carpet towards front of vehicle
Vehicle Installation
30 31
TIP! Always be careful to include enough slack in your cable to accommodate open doors or trunk lids. Use things typically found around the home, like electrical tape, to secure cables in areas so that hinges do not pinch the cable with the door. Hide any excess cable in the trim.
Continue routing cable under carpet or console to radio location
Coil excess cable under carpet or mat
Bring cable out from trim
Pull carpet or mat back
Bring cable out from trim and route under carpet to dashboard or console
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 knife or similar blunt tool to lift the plastic trim just enough to tuck the cable under underneath. Avoid side airbag locations on back pillars and above the doors. Airbag locations are marked with “SRS” logos. Be careful not to crimp or cut the cable.
