antenna signal strength. If not, be sure that you have mounted the antenna on the outside of the vehicle, as
shown in step 2, and that the vehicle is parked outdoors with a clear view of the sky. Move the vehicle away
from any obstructed area, for example, if you are parked in a garage, or parked near a large structure.

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 EZR. Avoid mounting on leather
surfaces. 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
EZR easily accessible for operation. (Airbag locations are typically marked with “SRS” logos.)
B. Orient the adhesive foot so that Onyx EZR is easily accessible. Loosen the knob and adjust the
adhesive foot to position 1, 2, or 3, 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.

Select either the Dash Mount method or the Vent Mount method for your Onyx EZR. You will need a phillips-head screwdriver to complete the installation.
IMPORTANT! To make the cable connections easier, wait until after you have connected all the cables to the dock before you attach the dock to the dash or to a vent. A. Mount the Magnetic Mount Antenna outside your vehicle, on a clean and dry horizontal surface
that will always face the sky.
B. Choose the location for the antenna according to your type of vehicle. Center it between the
left and right sides, and away from other antennas.
TIP: Use the Alcohol Prep Pad to clean the surface.

A. Tuck the antenna cable under the windshield rubber
molding and run it to the nearest corner.
B. Route the cable out of the molding and into the rubber
weather stripping around the door opening.
C. Lift the weather stripping. Tuck and run the cable inside it to the bottom of
the door opening. Replace the weather stripping.
D. Pull the cable out and route it to Onyx EZR.
E. Plug the Magnetic Mount Antenna connector into the silver ANT connector
at the rear the PowerConnect Vehicle Dock.
TIP: Include enough slack in your routing to accommodate open doors or the hood
lid. Coil any excess cable in a hidden location and keep it away from any vehicle
pedals or controls.

B. Some vents have recessed louvers. If yours are recessed, remove the regular vent clamps and
install the extended vent clamps.
