Option 3 A. Option 4 Option 5 B. B.
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.
3 The dock mounting plate can be tilted in different directions. Adjust as necessary for your particular vehicle. When the orientation is correct, tighten the knob.

Position, press, and hold the Dash Mount in place for 30 seconds. IMPORTANT! Allow the Dash Mount adhesive to cure (dry) for a minimum of 2-4 hours before using the mount.
Vehicle Installation Installing the Vent Mount: 18 Extended Vent Clamps 1 Locate a vent with horizontal louvers sturdy enough to hold your PowerConnect Vehicle Dock and Radio. 2 Short Vent If the vent louvers in your vehicle are Clamps 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.
4 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). 1 2 3 Dash Dash Dash HOOKED PUSH Vent Foot Louver Vent Vent TILT ADJUSTMENT HOLES 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.
Vehicle Installation 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.
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.
Vehicle Installation 3 If you are installing the antenna at the roof edge, or hood edge, install the Cable Routing Adapter to direct the antenna cable downward.
4 Place the antenna in the location you selected. Follow the Tips and Cautions shown on the next several pages. TIP! Mount the antenna on the roof (for most vehicles) or trunk (for convertibles) where it has a clear view of the sky in all directions.
Vehicle Installation CAUTION! Don’t mount the antenna inside the vehicle, for example, on the dashboard. CAUTION! Don’t mount the antenna on any of the vehicle’s front, back or side pillars. CAUTION! Don’t mount the antenna close to a roof rack. Adjust the rack so it’s further away from the antenna or move the antenna closer to the center of the roof.
CAUTION! Don’t mount the antenna close to another antenna. Mount it at least 3 inches away.
Vehicle Installation Step 4: Route the Magnetic Mount Antenna Cable Before you begin routing the antenna cable, read these general instructions for how to route and hide the antenna cable. Then route your antenna cable according to the instructions which follow for your specific type of vehicle.
Route cable out from under rear windshield moulding and tuck into weatherstripping around trunk opening Avoid sharp bends by running cable through weatherstripping for several inches Pull weatherstripping from trunk opening Tuck cable into weatherstripping.

Vehicle Installation Continue routing cable under carpet or console to radio location Pull carpet or mat back Coil excess cable under carpet or mat Bring cable out from trim Bring cable out from trim and route under carpet to dashboard or console TIP! Always be careful to include enough slack in your cable to accommodate open doors or trunk lids. Use things typically found around the home, like electrical tape, to secure cables in areas so that hinges do not pinch the cable with the door.
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.
