Vehicle Installation
WARNING! 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 Radio
When 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.

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 12.

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.
15
Vehicle Installation
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.

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.
Magnet
Sedan/Coupe: We recommend mounting the antenna just above
either the front windshield or the back window as shown.
18
Vehicle Installation
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.

28
Vehicle Installation
Sedan/Coupe With Antenna Placed at the Rear of the Roof:
1. Feed the antenna cable from the antenna underneath the rubber
molding around the rear window. Use a blunt plastic putty knife or
similar blunt tool to lift the rubber molding around the rear window
and tuck the antenna cable underneath the molding. Route the antenna
cable around and down the window to the lowest point. If your rear
window does not have rubber molding, we recommend consulting a
professional installer.
2. Route the antenna cable out of the window molding and into the
rubber weather stripping around the trunk opening. Lift the weather
stripping from the opening and tuck the cable inside it, then replace
the weather stripping. To avoid sharp bends in the cable, run the cable
inside the weather stripping for a few inches, then remove the cable
from the weather stripping inside the trunk. Keep the cable away from
hinges, gears, etc., that could damage it.
3. Route the cable out from the rubber weather stripping and along the
trunk wall. Continue routing the cable into the vehicle cabin through a
conduit or along an existing wiring harness.
4. Route the cable through the
main cabin area under the

of the vehicle. Use a blunt
plastic putty knife or similar
blunt tool to lift the plastic trim
just enough to tuck the cable
under underneath. Avoid side
airbag locations on back pillars
and above the doors. Airbag
locations are marked with “SRS”
29
Vehicle Installation
logos. Be careful not to crimp or cut the 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).
6. Bring the end of the cable out at the PowerConnect Vehicle Dock
location. Leave yourself enough cable so you can easily connect it to
the antenna connector of the dock.
7. Continue with “Step 5: Connect the Magnetic Mount Antenna and
PowerConnect Power Adapter” on page 35.

Step 6: Connect the Audio
To play XM audio through your vehicle’s stereo or FM radio, decide on one
of the following audio connection options:
• Option 1: Best: Use the provided Aux In Cable if your vehicle’s stereo
system has an auxiliary input connection or jack. Refer to your vehicle’s
owners manual to find the location of the auxiliary input jack, or consult
the vehicle dealer.
TIP! The auxiliary input jack may be located on the face plate of the vehicle
radio, on the back of the radio, anywhere on the front dash panel, inside the
glove compartment, or inside the center console in between the front seats.
• Option 2: Better: Use a Cassette Adapter if your vehicle has a builtin cassette player. Cassette Adapters are sold separately and can be
purchased from an electronics retailer, or go to www.siriusxm.com/
accessories.
• Option 3: Good: Use the PowerConnect feature of Onyx Plus.
PowerConnect plays the audio through your vehicle’s FM radio.
• Option 4: Best: Use the FM Direct Adapter. If none of the previous
three audio connection options will work in your vehicle, then you will
need to use the FM Direct Adapter (FMDA) (sold separately). The FMDA
needs to be installed by a professional installer and directly connects
Onyx Plus to your vehicle’s FM radio. To learn more, check with the
retailer where you bought your Radio, or go to www.siriusxm.com/
accessories.
Follow the installation instructions in the next several sections for the audio
connection option that you have selected.

not talk or music. We recommend one
of the following methods to find an
available FM channel:

fmchannel. Go to the website and
enter your zip code. The Channel
Finder will suggest a list of available
FM channels in your area. For
convenience, write down or print out
the list.
OR
b. Manually tune through your local FM
channels on your vehicle’s FM radio.
Locate and create a list of channels that aren’t being used by any FM
radio station. Write down the list. Once you have created your list of
available FM channels, you will need to find the one that provides the
best match for Onyx Plus.
TIP! You’ll need to use the ‘Manual’ tune function on your vehicle’s FM radio
to tune through every FM channel one-by-one. Turn on your vehicle’s FM
radio. Start at 88.1 and use the ‘Manual’ tune function on your vehicle’s FM
radio to tune through each FM channel one-by-one (88.1 followed by 88.3
etc.) to locate channels that aren’t being used by a local FM radio station.
Write down each FM channel that has only static or silence on it, until you
reach 107.9.
6. Ensure Onyx Plus is tuned to channel 1, the XM Preview channel. Upon
power up, Onyx Plus should tune to channel 1 by default, when it’s not
yet activated. If it’s not on channel 1, refer to “Listening to Satellite
Radio” on page 51 to learn about how to tune a channel.
7. Pick the first FM channel on your list from step 5. Turn on your vehicle’s
FM radio (if you have not already done so) and tune it to this FM channel.
NOTE! If you are using the Vehicle Dock from the Universal Xpress Car Kit
instead of the PowerConnect Vehicle Dock which came with your Onyx Plus,
you will have to disable AUX Detect. Refer to “Using the Vehicle Dock From
the Universal Xpress Car Kit” on page 122, and complete the additional

11. If the selected FM channel doesn’t work well for you, work down the list
of FM channels until you find one with which you are satisfied. Each time,
you will need to tune your vehicle’s FM radio to the FM channel and then
set your Onyx Plus to transmit on the same FM channel (steps 7 & 8).
If the signal reception is good, showing at least two bars in the lower left
corner of the display, but there is no XM audio, verify that both Onyx Plus
and your vehicle’s FM radio are tuned to the same FM channel (steps 7 &
8). Also ensure the chosen FM channel is a suitable one to use in your area
(step 5). Verify that nothing is plugged into the AUDIO connector on the
PowerConnect Vehicle Dock. Refer to “Troubleshooting” on page 125 for
additional help.
Option 4: FM Direct Adapter (FMDA) Installation
The FMDA needs to be installed by a professional installer. Professional
installation can help improve your Radio’s reception and significantly
reduce the visibility of wires. To learn more, check with the retailer where
you bought your Radio, or go to www.siriusxm.com/accessories.

You can set your Onyx Plus to alert you when the following events occur:
• Song Alert: Alerts can be set for your favorite songs, so that whenever
the song begins to play on any music channel, you will be alerted and
given the opportunity to tune to the channel.
• Artist Alert: Alerts can be set for your favorite artists, so that whenever
a song by that artist begins to play on any music channel, you will be
alerted and given the opportunity to tune to the channel.
Song and artist alerts can be saved while you are tuned to a channel where
the song or artist is currently playing. Alerts can be set while listening to
the live broadcast, while in Pause and Replay mode, and while in TuneMix or
TuneScan mode. You can save up to 100 Song and Artist Alerts. If the alert
list is full you will be prompted to replace an existing alert.

Game/Score Alerts
If your subscription package includes
the play-by-play sports channels for your
desired sports leagues, and SiriusXM
broadcasts the games, you can set your
Onyx Plus to alert you when the following
events occur:
• Game Alert: Alerts can be set for your
favorite sports teams so that whenever
SiriusXM begins broadcasting a game
in which your favorite sports team is
playing, you will be alerted and given
the opportunity to tune to the game.
• Score Alert: When you set a Game
Alert for your favorite sports teams, a
Score Alert is automatically set also.
If you are not listening to the game,
you will be alerted each time there is a
new score in the game, and given the
opportunity to tune to the game. Score
Alerts can be turned off if you do not
wish to receive them.
IMPORTANT! A subscription package which includes the play-by-play sports
channels of the desired leagues is required. For example, if you selected an
alert for an NFL team, and your subscription package did not include NFL
play-by-play sports channels, you cannot receive Game or Score Alerts.
We recommend you do not select alerts for teams in a league which are not
included in your subscription package. Check your subscription package
to confirm that it includes the play-by-play sports channels for the desired
leagues before selecting any teams for alerts in the leagues.

Tips for Obtaining the Best Experience With Game/Score Alerts
Before selecting teams for Game/Score Alerts, familiarize yourself with the
following tips to help you obtain the best experience with Game/Score Alerts:
82
Special Features
• Game and Score Alerts normally do not occur if you are tuned to the
channel which is broadcasting the game in which the selected team is
playing. However, it’s possible that the same game may be broadcast on
multiple SiriusXM channels simultaneously. If so, you will receive Game
Alerts for the other channels where the game is being broadcast. You
can temporarily turn off Game Alerts if desired (page 88).
• For a given sport, during the season it is likely that SiriusXM will be
broadcasting several games simultaneously. This will result in Game
Alerts when each game begins, and Score Alerts throughout the games.
For sports where scores are frequent, you may find constant Score
Alerts to be disruptive. You can temporarily turn off Score Alerts if you
find them to be disruptive (page 88).
• Avoid selecting all teams in a league for alerts. Select only those teams
you are most interested in following.
• Use the Sports Ticker instead of Score Alerts to keep up with scores.
To save a team for Game/Score Alert while listening to a game:
1. While tuned to the channel where the
game is being broadcast press and
hold menu/alerts.
2. You will be prompted to select the
team for the Game/Score Alert.
Highlight your choice by pressing
or up
and press the Select
down
button, or press menu/alerts to cancel.

Sports Ticker
Sports Ticker shows status of games in
progress including current score, and the
final score for games which have ended
within the last 24 hours. For games in
progress, it also shows the channel number
if the game is being broadcast by SiriusXM.
The Sports Ticker is displayed on the main
display screen, and depending upon how
many teams have been selected, the Sports
Ticker scrolls across the screen. Whenever
a score occurs, the scoring team is shown
in yellow in the Sports Ticker.
IMPORTANT! A subscription package which includes play-by-play sports
channels is required. To receive all the information, including the channel
number on which the game is being broadcast, a subscription package
containing the play-by-play channels for that particular league is required.
For example, if you selected an NFL team to be displayed on the ticker and
your subscription package does not include the NFL play-by-play sports
channels, Sports Ticker will not display the channel number on which the
game is being broadcast.
Teams can be selected while you are tuned to a channel where a game is
being broadcast, or you can preselect teams through menu options. There
is no limit on the number of sports teams which can be saved for the Sports
Ticker.
Note: It’s possible that the game involving the team you have selected for
Sports Ticker is being broadcast on multiple SiriusXM channels
simultaneously. If so, the Sports Ticker will only display one channel number
on which the game is being broadcast.

Special Features
SportsFlash
A SportsFlash is a key play from your favorite teams when a game is being
broadcast on SiriusXM. When an exciting play happens, a SportsFlash
alert will be displayed and you will have the opportunity to tune to the
SportsFlash and hear the play. When the
SportsFlash is ended, you can choose
to return to the channel you had been
listening to prior, or remain tuned to the
game.
If your subscription package includes
the play-by-play sports channels for your
desired sports leagues, you can set your
Onyx Plus to alert you when a SportsFlash
occurs for the teams you have selected.
IMPORTANT! A subscription package which includes the play-by-play sports
channels of the desired leagues is required. For example, if you selected an
alert for an NFL team, and your subscription package did not include NFL
play-by-play sports channels, you cannot receive SportsFlash alerts.
We recommend you do not select SportsFlash for teams in a league which
are not included in your subscription package. Check your subscription
package to confirm that it includes the play-by-play sports channels for the
desired leagues before selecting any teams for SportsFlash in the leagues.
Up to five teams can be preselected for SportsFlash alerts by using Manage
Teams in the menu settings. In addition, when a Game Alert occurs for a
game not preselected for SportsFlash, you will be given an opportunity to
temporarily add the game for SportsFlash alerts, or if five SportsFlash alerts
are currently active, replace an active SportsFlash or add it to a queue to
become active when one of the currently active games ends.
SportsFlash alerts are displayed visually and are accompanied by an
95
Special Features
optional audible alert beep, except when you are not at the main display
screen. If you are not at the main display screen, you will hear the audible
alert beep (provided it’s turned on), but the visual alert will be delayed until
you have returned to the main display screen.
When a SportsFlash alert is displayed, you can press the Select button to
tune to the SportsFlash, press 1 to not receive any more SportsFlash alerts
for that particular game, or press menu/alerts to dismiss the alert (or do
nothing and wait for the alert to time out).
Missed a SportsFlash alert? Alerts are saved in My Sports Flashes category
for the duration of the SportsFlash. You can listen to a SportsFlash by
tapping the SportsFlash in My Sports Flashes.
There may be occasions when several SportsFlash alerts will happen
simultaneously or shortly after one another. They will each be displayed in
order after a selection has been made, or the alert has timed out.
SportsFlash alerts can also be turned off if you do not wish to receive
them. Turning the alerts off preserves the teams you have selected for
SportsFlash, and does not delete them. They are kept so that when you
turn SportsFlash on again, you will still receive SportsFlash alerts for your
selected teams.
Tips for Obtaining the Best Experience With SportsFlash:
Before selecting teams for SportsFlash, familiarize yourself with the following
tips to help you obtain the best experience with SportsFlash:
• SportsFlash alerts normally do not occur if you are already tuned to the
channel which is broadcasting the game in which the selected team is
playing. However, it’s possible that the same game may be broadcast
on multiple SiriusXM channels simultaneously. If so, you will receive
SportsFlash alerts for the other channels where the game is being
96
Special Features
broadcast. You can temporarily turn off SportsFlash if desired to avoid
multiple alerts for the same game.
• SportsFlash alerts are not available for all leagues. When unavailable,
you will not be able to add teams for SportsFlash alerts.
• There is a maximum of 5 games that can be simultaneously monitored
for SportsFlash. If you already have preselected five teams for
SportsFlash alerts, you will have to deselect a team before you can add
another team.
Preselecting (and Deselecting) Teams for SportsFlash:

Configuring Your Onyx Plus
FM Settings
Find Available FM Channels in Your Area
Before attempting any of the procedures below, you should park your
vehicle in a safe location. Do not attempt to set up your FM channels or any
Onyx Plus function while driving.
PowerConnect allows you to listen to SiriusXM through your existing vehicle
radio. You will first need to find an available FM channel, which is a channel
that is not being used by an FM radio station in your area. When you tune
your vehicle’s FM radio to an available channel, you should only hear static
or silence – not talk or music.
Once you have found an available FM channel, you’ll need to tune Onyx
Plus and your vehicle’s radio to the same FM channel to receive XM audio
through your vehicle’s radio.
We recommend one of the following methods to find an available FM channel:
1. Use the SiriusXM FM Channel Finder
Use the SiriusXM FM Channel Finder at www.siriusxm.com/fmchannel.
Go to the website and enter your zip code. The Channel Finder will
suggest a list of available FM channels in your area. For convenience,
write down or print out the list.
Tune Onyx Plus to a favorite XM channel (or to channel 1, if it’s not
activated). Turn on your vehicle’s FM radio. Pick the first FM channel on
your Channel Finder list and tune the FM radio to that channel. If you
do not hear a local FM station broadcast, then tune Onyx Plus to the
same FM channel. (Refer to “Set and Select an FM Channel” on page
108.) You should hear the XM channel through your vehicle’s radio. If
you are satisfied with the sound quality, you’re done! If this FM channel
doesn’t work well for you, work down the list until you find an FM
channel that allows you to hear XM clearly.
106
Configuring Your Onyx Plus
OR
2. Manually tune through your local FM channels
Manually tune through your local FM channels on your vehicle’s FM
radio. Turn on your vehicle’s FM radio. Start at 88.1 and use the ‘Manual’
tune function on your vehicle’s FM radio to tune through each FM
channel one-by-one (88.1 followed by 88.3 etc.) to locate channels that
aren’t being used by a local FM radio station. Write down each FM
channel that has only static or silence on it, until you reach 107.9. Once
you have created your list of available FM channels, you will need to find
the one that provides the best match for Onyx Plus.
Tune Onyx Plus to a favorite XM channel (or to channel 1, if it’s not
activated). Pick the first FM channel on your list and tune the FM radio
to that channel. Then tune Onyx Plus to the same FM channel. (Refer to
“Set and Select an FM Channel” on page 108.) You should hear the
XM channel through your vehicle’s radio. If you are satisfied with the
sound quality, you’re done! If this FM channel doesn’t work well for you,
work down the list until you find an FM channel that allows you to hear
XM clearly.
NOTE! You may find an FM channel with static or silence that does not work
with Onyx Plus. It is possible that some type of inaudible interference is
present that prevents reception of the XM broadcast. Your only options are to
use another FM channel or a different audio connection method.
TIP! If you regularly drive from one location to another, such as your daily
commute, you may need to use different FM channels along your route for
best performance. If this is the case, we recommend saving the best FM
channels as presets on your FM radio and Onyx Plus. Then you simply select
and match the best channel for the area you are in.
TIP! It will be much more difficult to find available FM channels in large cities
than in most suburban or rural locations. A direct audio connection using the
Aux In Cable, Cassette Adapter, or professional installation is your best
solution if you drive in or near large metropolitan areas.
107
Configuring Your Onyx Plus
NOTE! The SiriusXM FM Channel Finder relies on data from the Federal
Communications Commission. The data may not reflect the latest stations in
your area. In addition, local geography and weather conditions can impact
reception, so your results may be different from the list.
NOTE! The performance of FM radios are different, based on manufacturer and
vehicle style. Some may not work well with the type of FM transmitter used by
Onyx Plus. This is why we recommend a direct audio connection using the Aux
In Cable or Cassette Adapter if they can be used in your vehicle. Professional
installation can also resolve almost any performance issue.
Set and Select an FM Channel
Onyx Plus allows you to easily store (i.e., preset) up to 5 different FM
channels. At any time, you can select any one of these 5 FM presets to hear
SiriusXM through your existing vehicle radio. Having a choice of 5 FM presets
also makes it easy to switch to the appropriate FM channel as you travel from
one area to another. Each FM preset is stored in its own storage location. You
can easily add or edit the FM preset in any one of the 5 storage locations.
IMPORTANT! Onyx Plus and the vehicle’s FM radio need to be tuned to the
same FM channel in order to hear the audio.
TIP! The FM 1 storage location is preset with FM channel 97.9.

Troubleshooting
Onyx Plus has been designed and built to be trouble-free but if you
experience a problem, try this:
• Check that all connections are firm and secure.
• Make sure the vehicle power socket is clean and free of corrosion.
• Make sure you have connected Onyx Plus as described in this User
Guide. Verify that the PowerConnect Power Adapter is plugged into the
vehicle’s cigarette lighter or power adapter socket, and that the LED
on the PowerConnect Power Adapter is lit (on). If not, your vehicle may
need to be running to provide power to the socket.
If you see this on the screen:
Try this:
Acquiring Signal
• Make sure that the vehicle is outdoors with a
clear view of the sky.
• Make sure the Magnetic Mount Antenna is
mounted outside of the vehicle.
• Move the antenna away from any obstructed
area. For example, if you are parked in an
underground garage, you should receive a signal
after leaving the garage.
Check Antenna Connection
• Make sure that the antenna cable is firmly
and securely plugged into the PowerConnect
Vehicle Dock. Make sure the cable is not bent or
broken.
• Turn Onyx Plus Off, then On, to reset this
message.
• If the message persists, most likely the Magnetic
Mount Antenna cable has been damaged.
Replace the antenna.
Channel Off Air
• The channel you’ve selected is not currently
broadcasting. Tune to another channel.

If this happens:
Try this:
Audio fades or has static when
listening
• Check all cables for a firm and secure connection.
• If you are using PowerConnect to listen via your
vehicle’s FM radio, and the problem persists,
it most likely is interference from another
commercial or broadcast FM station. You will
need to find an unused or available FM channel
in your area. Refer to “Find Available FM
Channels in Your Area” on page 106.
• If you are using PowerConnect, and you cannot
solve the audio problem, try connecting the
audio using the Aux In Cable or a Cassette
Adapter. (Refer to page 37 and page 39.)
If you cannot use those solutions, consider using
an FM Direct Adapter. (Refer to page 44.)
No audio when using
PowerConnect or FMDA
• Check that your Onyx Plus and your vehicle’s FM
radio are tuned to the same FM channel.
• For PowerConnect, ensure you are using the
PowerConnect Vehicle Dock and PowerConnect
Power Adapter.
• If you are using the Vehicle Dock that came with
the Universal Xpress Car Kit, ensure that the FM
Transmitter in Onyx Plus is turned On. Refer to
“Turn FM Transmitter On/Off” on page 123.
No song title or artist name is
displayed
• The information may not be available or updates
may be in progress.

Troubleshooting
If this happens:
Try this:
TuneMix and TuneScan do not
function as expected
There may be several possible reasons:
• You have not saved enough music channels
as smart favorites. In all channels mode, save
a total of at least three smart favorite music
channels in banks A and B. In bank mode, save
at least three smart favorite music channels in
bank A or bank B.
• Onyx Plus has not been powered on long
enough to accumulate enough songs for
TuneMix/Scan. Wait a few minutes and try again.
Also refer to “Tips for Obtaining the Best
Experience from TuneMix” on page 66
and “Tips for Obtaining the Best Experience
from TuneScan” on page 69 for additional
information.
Not all music channels saved
as smart favorite channels are
playing in TuneMix/Scan
Certain music channels are not eligible for
TuneMix/Scan due to the way in which they are
broadcast. While these music channels can be
saved as smart favorites, they will not be included
in TuneMix/Scan.
