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 and make sure the air temperature is at least 15˚C (60˚F) during installation.
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 & 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! Once the mount is attached to the dash, let the adhesive cure (dry) for 24 hours before attaching the dock and radio to the mount.
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.

Vehicle Installation
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
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.
Vehicle Installation
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.
Magnet
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.
3 Place the antenna in the location you selected. Follow the Tips and
Cautions shown on the next several pages.
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.
Vehicle Installation
24 25
CAUTION! Don’t mount the antenna close to another antenna. Mount it at least 7.5 cm (3 inches) away.
Step 4: Route the Magnetic Mount Antenna Cable

• 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.
5. Bring the cable out from the trim near the front of the cabin and route it under the carpet toward the dashboard or console. 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 (purchased separately).
6. Bring the end of the cable out at the PowerConnect Vehicle Dock location. Leave yourself enough cable so you can easily connect it to the antenna connector of the dock.
7. Continue with “Step 5: Connect the Magnetic Mount Antenna and PowerConnect Power Adapter” on page 37.
