Wire Guide

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

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

Locate a flat surface for the Dash Mount Make sure there is ample

room for the PowerConnect Vehicle Dock and onyX Radio when

installed

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:

Step 6: Connect the Audio

To play audio through your vehicle’s stereo or FM radio, decide on one of the

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

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

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

Ensure onyX is tuned to channel 1 Upon power up, onyX 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 55 to learn about how to

tune a channel

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

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:

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

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

clear view of the sky

• Make sure the Magnetic Mount Antenna is

mounted outside of the vehicle
