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

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.

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).

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.
