Find a Location for Onyx EZ and Mount it
Dash Mount Method:
IMPORTANT: The air temperature needs to be at least 60°F to install the Dash Mount. If needed, turn on the
heater in your vehicle.
A. Select a flat surface for the Dash Mount with ample room for Onyx EZ. Avoid mounting on
leather surfa ces. Choose a location that doesn’t interfere with the driver’s vision or access to driving
controls, one that won’t interfere with the deployment of airbags or other safety equipment, and
makes Onyx EZ easily accessible for operation. (Airbag locations are typically marked with “SRS”
logos.)
B. Orient the adhesive foot so that Onyx EZ is easily accessible. Loosen the knob and adjust the
adhesive foot to position 1or 2, and then tighten it.
C. Attach the Dash Mount to the PowerConnect Vehicle
Dock using the 4 provided screws.
D. 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.
E. 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.
F. Once the surface is dry, remove the adhesive liner. Press
and hold the Dash Mount in place for 30 seconds. Allow
the adhesive to cure for 2-4 hours.
G. You can tilt the dock mounting plate in your
preferred direction.

Vent Mount Method:
A. Select a vent with ample room for Onyx EZ, one that won’t interfere with the deployment of airbags
or other safety equipment, and makes Onyx EZ easily accessible for operation. (Airbag locations are
typically marked with “SRS” logos.)
B. Some vents have recessed louvers. If yours are recessed, remove the regular vent clamps and
install the extended vent clamps.
C. Attach the Vent Mount to the PowerConnect Vehicle Dock using
the 4 provided screws.
D. 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.
E. Once the cables have been attached to the dock, install the
Vent Mount onto the vehicle vent. (Note that for clarity the
illustrations below do not show the Vehicle Dock attached to the
Vent Mount.)
i. Insert the vent mount into the vent opening.
ii. Push until hooked on the rear of the vent louver. Rest the foot against the bottom of the vent.
iii. If necessary, adjust the tilt of the Vent Mount by repositioning the foot to a different tilt
adjustment hole.

Car Kit” in the Onyx EZ User Guide (with Vehicle Kit) , and complete the additional
instructions before continuing with the next step. Go to www.siriusxm.com/guides.
