Step 1: Choose a Location for Your Radio
When installing the PowerConnect Vehicle Dock 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
may be in direct sunlight, which will affect
the visibility of the display screen.
Here are some examples of the dock (with a
radio) mounted using either the Dash Mount
or the Window Mount.

Step 2: Install the Dash or Window Mount
Depending on your situation, you can either choose to use the Dash Mount or the
Window 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 used on the Dash Mount may be difficult to remove. Do
not install this mount on leather surfaces (contact your automobile dealership 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 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.
DASH MOUNT - Option 1 and DASH
MOUNT - Option 2 should be
oriented like the image above.
DASH MOUNT - Option 3 should
be oriented like the image above.

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 at least 24
hours before using 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. Be careful not to overheat the surface with the hair dryer or you
may damage the surface or Dash Mount.

Installing the Window Mount:
IMPORTANT! States or localities may prohibit driving with a suction mount on
the windshield. (See California Vehicle Code Section 26708(a); Minnesota
Statutes 2008, Section 169.71). When driving in these areas, the dash mounting
option should be used instead. Check your state or local laws for any applicable
restrictions. SIRIUS XM Radio Inc. does not take any responsibility for any fines,
penalties or damages that may be incurred as a result of disregarding this notice.
1 Locate a place on the windshield for the mount. Make sure there
is ample room for the PowerConnect Vehicle Dock and radio when
installed, and that it does not block the driver’s vision or any airbag.
(Airbag locations are typically marked with “SRS” logos.)
2 Clean the surface with the alcohol preparation pad and let it dry
thoroughly.
3 Press and hold the mount
against the windshield.
Then press the lever all
the way down to attach
the Window Mount to the
windshield.

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 the Magnetic Mount
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.
