Step 1: Choose a Location for Your Radio
When installing the Onyx EZ 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 EZ mounted in a vehicle are shown: Ais the on
dash method using the Dash Mount, and Bis the vent clip method using the Vent
Mount.

Vehicle Installation
Step 2: Install the Dash or Vent Mount
Follow the instructions on the next several pages for the mounting method you
have selected.
NOTE! The PowerConnect Vehicle Dock included with the this Vehicle Kit is
compatible with the T-slot style Dash and Vent Mounts. If you have an existing Dash
Mount or Vent Mount in your vehicle, you can continue to use it with this dock, and
skip this step.
Installing the Dash Mount:
CAUTION! The adhesive used on the Adhesive 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 60°F
(15°C) during installation. If it’s not at least 60°F, turn on the
heater in your vehicle to bring the temperature up to 60°F.
1. Locate a flat surface for the Adhesive Mount. Make sure
there is ample room for the PowerConnect Vehicle Dock and Radio when
installed.
2. Set the orientation of the Adhesive 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 10.
3. The dock mounting plate can be tilted in different directions. Adjust as

Option 3
Option 2 Option 4

Vehicle Installation
necessary for your particular vehicle. When the orientation is correct,
tighten the knob.
4. Attach the Adhesive Mount to the Power Connect
Vehicle Dock using the 4 provided screws.
5. Before you attach the Adhesive Mount to the dash,
skip ahead and finish the remainder of the vehicle
installation so that the cables are attached to the
dock.
6. Once the cables have been attached to
the dock, clean the mounting surface in
the vehicle with the alcohol preparation
pad and let it dry thoroughly.
7. Peel off the adhesive liner. Position, press,
and hold the Adhesive Mount in place for
30 seconds.
IMPORTANT! Allow the Adhesive 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 the Adhesive Mount, 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:
IMPORTANT! To make the cable connections easier, wait until after you have
connected all the cables to the dock before you attach the Vent Mount to a vent.
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, and replace both vent clamps.

3. Attach the Vent Mount to the Power Connect
Vehicle Dock using the 4 provided screws.
4. Before you attach the Vent Mount to the
vent, skip ahead and finish the remainder of
the vehicle installation so that the cables are
attached to the dock.
Note! For greater clarity, the next illustration
does not show the dock attached to the Vent
Mount, however, the dock should be attached
before continuing.
5. Once the cables have been attached to the dock, push the Vent Mount onto
the vehicle vent as shown (1) until it hooks on the rear of the vent louver (2).
6. Rest the foot against the bottom of the vent (2), and adjust the tilt of the Vent
Mount by repositioning the foot to the other adjustment hole (3).
TIP! 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.

18
Vehicle Installation
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.

19
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 7.5 cm (3 inches) away.
