12WARNING! DO NOT attempt to install Onyx Plus while driving. Park your vehicle in a safe location before beginning installation.Step 1: Choose a Location for Your RadioWhen installing Onyx Plus 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 Onyx Plus mounted in a vehicle are shown: A is the on dash method using the Adhesive Mount, and B is the vent clip method using the Vent Mount.A.A.Option 1 Option 2234567890directjumpFMmenu1234567890directjumpFMmenu1Vehicle Installation

14Vehicle InstallationStep 2: Install the Adhesive or Vent MountFollow 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 12.3. The dock mounting plate can be tilted in different directions. Adjust as necessary for your particular vehicle. When the orientation is correct, Option 1Option 3Option 2 Option 4
15tighten 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.AUDIO ANT PWR FMVehicle InstallationKnob Adhesive Foot Dock Mounting Plate
16Installing 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.Slide Short Vent Clamps OutRemove End CapSlide Extended Vent Clamps In Replace End CapExtended Vent ClampsShort VentClampsVehicle Installation

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 Mount.PUSHDashVentLouverVent VentDash DashHOOKEDTILTADJUSTMENTHOLESFOOT1 2 3AUDIO ANT PWR FMVehicle Installation
18Step 3: Mount the Magnetic Mount AntennaMount 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.MagnetVehicle Installation
19 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!

Clean the surface of the selected mounting location using the alcohol preparation pad and let it dry thoroughly.Vehicle Installation
