Step 2: Install the Adhesive or Vent Mount
Follow the instructions on the next several pages for the mounting method you have selected.
Installing the Adhesive 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 Onyx Plus 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 necessary for your
particular vehicle. When the orientation is correct, tighten the knob.
4. Attach the Adhesive Mount to the PowerConnect 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 Onyx Plus 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 PowerConnect 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
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.
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.

Onyx Plus User Guide
3. Place the antenna in the location you selected. Follow the Tips and Cautions shown below.
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
.
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.
CAUTION! Don’t mount
the antenna close to
another antenna. Mount
it at least 3 inches away.

Step 4: Route the Antenna Cable
Before you begin routing the antenna cable, read these general instructions for how to route and hide
the antenna cable. Then route your antenna cable according to the step-by-step instructions which
follow for your specific type of vehicle.
Use care when routing the antenna cable into and through the vehicle interior, avoiding sharp objects
that can damage the cable. Keep the antenna cable away from moving parts such as gas, clutch,
and brake pedals, trunk and door hinges, and sliding seat brackets. Hide the antenna wire inside the
vehicle cabin by routing the cable under the carpet and behind plastic trim, toward the Tuner Module
location. Coil and secure any excess cable in a hidden location, such as under the carpet, using wire
ties (not included). CAUTION! Do not kink or sharply fold the antenna cable.

5. Bring the cable out from the trim near the front of the cabin and route it under the carpet
toward the dashboard or console. Coil any excess cable in a hidden location, such as under the
carpet, keeping it away from any vehicle pedals or controls. Secure the excess cable with wire
ties (purchased separately).
