WARNING! DO NOT attempt to install this Vehicle Kit while driving. Park your
vehicle in a safe location before beginning installation.
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.
Depending on your preference, you can either choose to use the Dash
Mount or the Vent Mount. On the following two pages, several examples
of the PowerConnect Vehicle Dock and Radio 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. You may want to read the installation
instructions for each type of mount in step 2 to help you select which
mount you will use.
NOTE: Your Radio may be a different model than the Radio shown here.

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 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 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 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 10.
•Option 1 & Option 3
should be oriented as I.
•Option 2 should be oriented
as II.
3. The dock mounting plate can

correct, tighten the knob.
4. Attach the Dash Mount to the PowerConnect
Vehicle Dock using the 4 provided screws.
5. Before you attach the Dash 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 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 the Dash 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.

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 a different 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

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 the 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.

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.
IMPORTANT! Consult a professional installer if
your vehicle roof or hood is non-metallic (i.e.,
fiberglass), or you have difficulty finding a
location for your antenna.
2. Clean the surface of the selected mounting
location using the alcohol preparation pad
and let it dry thoroughly.
