*The phone number shown above
may differ from the one shown on
your Onyx Plus. All numbers are valid.
Decide on one of the following in-box audio connection options. You can also refer to “Connect the Audio”
in the Onyx Plus User Guide (with Vehicle Kit) for additional audio connection options, such as a cassette
adapter or the FM Direct Adapter (FMDA) (both sold separately). Go to www.siriusxm.com/guides for the
User Guide.
Option 1: Best: Use the provided Aux In Cable,
if your vehicle’s stereo system has an auxiliary
input jack.
A. Plug one end of the cable into the green
AUDIO connector on the
Power Connect
Vehicle Dock and the other end into the auxiliary input jack on the vehicle’s stereo system.
B. Turn on your vehicle’s stereo system and set it to play from the auxiliary input source.
C. You should hear XM channel 1 through your vehicle’s stereo system.
D. Go back to Step 1 “Find a Location for Onyx Plus and Mount It” on the opposite side and finish
installing the Dash or Vent Mount. Then the installation is complete.
TIP! Refer to your vehicle’s owner’s manual to find the location of the auxiliary input jack, or consult the vehicle
dealer.
Option 2: Good: Use the PowerConnect feature of Onyx Plus. Power Connect plays the XM audio through
your vehicle’s FM radio.
A. Find and make a list of all available FM channels in your area that are not being used by an FM radio
station.
B. Pick the first FM channel on your list. Tune your vehicle’s FM radio to this FM channel.
NOTE! If you are using the Vehicle Dock from the Universal Xpress Car Kit instead
of the
Power Connect 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” of the Onyx Plus User Guide (with Vehicle Kit), and complete the additional
instructions before continuing with the next step.
Go to www.siriusxm.com/guides.
The audio connection will be through your vehicle’s FM radio, but it is not
Power Connect.
C. Set your Onyx Plus to transmit on the same FM channel that you have
selected on your vehicle’s FM radio:
i. Press menu and then press
down to scroll to and highlight FM
Settings. Press the Select button.
ii.
FM Channels will be highlighted. If it is not highlighted, press down to
scroll to and highlight FM Channels. Press the Select button.
iii. Press
down to scroll to and highlight FM2. Press the Select button.
iv. Press left or right to tune in steps of .2, or press up or down
to tune in steps of 1 to select the available FM channel you have chosen.
Press the Select button to select the FM channel.
v. Start Using will be highlighted. P
ress the Select button.
vi. The selected FM channel will be confirmed on the display screen. Press
and hold menu to return to the main display screen.
D. You should hear XM channel 1 through your vehicle’s FM radio. If you are
satisfied with the sound quality, go back to Step 1 “Find a Location for Onyx
Plus and Mount It” on the opposite side and finish installing the Dash or Vent
Mount. Then the installation is complete.
E. If you are not satisfied, move to the
next FM channel on your list and repeat
the process. Continue until you have
found an FM channel with which you are
satisfied.
