Vehicle Installation  
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: A is the on dash  
method using the Dash Mount, and B is the vent clip method using the Vent Mount

Vehicle Installation  
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 (contact  
your vehicle dealer if you are unsure about your dash surface), and  
make sure the air temperature is at least 60ûF (15ûC) during  
installation  If it’s not at least 60ûF, turn on the heater in your  
vehicle to bring the temperature up to 60ûF  
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:

following audio connection options:  
Option 1: Best: Use the Aux In Cable if your vehicle’s stereo system has an  
auxiliary input connection  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 built-  
in cassette player  Cassette Adapters are sold separately and can be  
purchased from an electronics retailer, or go to xmradio com/accessories  
Option 3: Good: Use the PowerConnect feature in the onyX  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 the onyX to your  
vehicle’s FM radio  To learn more, check with the retailer where you bought  
your radio, or go to xmradio com/accessories  
Follow the installation instructions in the next several sections for the audio  
connection option that you have selected

You’ll first need to find an available FM channel  An available FM  
channel is one that’s not being used by an FM radio station in your area  
When you tune your FM radio to an available channel, you should only  
hear static or silence – not talk or music  We recommend one of the  
following methods to find an available FM channel:  
a  Use the SIRIUS | XM FM Channel Finder at www xmradio 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  
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  
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

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  
function while driving  
PowerConnect allows you to listen to XM audio through your vehicle’s FM  
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 FM radio to an available channel, you should only hear static or silence  
– not talk or music  
Once you have found an available channel, you need to tune onyX’s built-in  
transmitter to the same channel to receive XM sound through your vehicle’s  
radio  
We recommend one of the following methods to find an available FM channel:  
1
Use the SIRIUS | XM FM Channel Finder  
Use the SIRIUS | XM FM Channel Finder at www xmradio 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 to a favorite XM channel (or to channel 1, if it’s not  
yet 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  
the onyX to the same FM channel  (Refer to “Set and Select an FM  
Channel” on page 82 ) You should hear the XM channel through your

Configuring Your onyX  
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  
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  
Tune onyX to a favorite XM channel (or to channel 1, if it’s not yet  
activated)  Pick the first FM channel on your list and tune the FM radio to  
that channel  Then tune the onyX to the same FM channel  (Refer to “Set  
and Select an FM Channel” on page 82 ) 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  It is possible that some type of inaudible interference is present that  
prevents reception of the onyX 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  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  
NOTE! The SIRIUS | XM 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  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

Configuring Your onyX  
Set and Select an FM Channel  
The onyX 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 transmit audio from  
the onyX to your vehicle’s FM 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! The onyX 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

Cable or Cassette Adapter  
Check all cables between your onyX and your  
vehicle’s stereo system for a firm and secure  
connection  
Ensure you have selected the proper input source  
on your vehicle’s stereo system

Transmitter in the onyX is turned Off, and increase  
the audio level of the onyX  Refer to “Set Audio  
Level” on page 89  
Audio fades or has static when  
listening

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 79  
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
