Wire Guide

Vehicle Installation

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.

I 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.

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.

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).

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Use a blunt plastic putty knife, a credit card,

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
