Configuring Your Onyx EZ
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 EZ
function while driving .
PowerConnect allows you to listen to SiriusXM 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 EZ's built-in
transmitter to the same channel to receive XM audio through your vehicle's
radio .
To find an available FM channel:
• Manually tune through your local FM channels
1. 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
EZ .
2. Tune Onyx EZ to a favourite 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 EZ to the same FM channel . (Refer to "Set
and Select an FM Channel" on page 61 .) You should hear the XM channel
through your vehicle's radio . If you are satisfied with the sound quality, you're
