Step 1: Choose a Location for Your Radio
When installing the 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 the 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 and make
sure the air temperature is at least 15˚C (60˚F) during installation.
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 & 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! Once the mount is attached to the dash, let the adhesive cure
(dry) for 24 hours before attaching the dock and radio to the mount.
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).
4 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).
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.
