Features

Overview: This package contains the XM onyX Satellite Radio receiver, car cradle (with swivel adhesive mount and vent mount), a PowerConnect FM transmitter cigarette lighter adapter, and a magnetic roof-mount antenna. You can connect the XM onyX to your vehicle's sound system using the unit's built-in FM transmitter or your headunit's auxiliary input (minijack cable supplied). A subscription to XM Satellite Radio is also required.

XM Satellite Radio: XM Satellite Radio offers a great variety of programming such as commercial free music of almost any genre (Pop, Rock, Dance, Hip-Hop, R&B, Country, Christian, Jazz, Blues, Classical, Latin), sports (MLB, NHL, college games, PGA tour), talk radio (NPR), comedy (Laugh Attack, The Foxxhole), news (CNN, CSPAN, CNBC, BBC), and entertainment (Oprah, Cosmo). XM Radio provides superior digital sound quality coast-to-coast. XM also offers instant traffic and weather alerts for 21 major US cities.

Large Color Display: The XM onyX Satellite Radio receiver features a large color display which lets you view artist name, song title, and channel information. You can customize the display by choosing from six backlight color themes (Blue, Red, Amber, Yellow, Silver, or Teal) that match your mood or your vehicle's dash lights. The large color display also offers adjustable brightness control.

Vehicle Dock: The XM onyX Satellite Radio receiver comes supplied with a vehicle dock which allows you to listen to XM Satellite Radio in your vehicle. The vehicle dock has color-coded connectors to assist you in connecting the cables to the correct connector. The vehicle dock also has a rear-panel wire-guide that can help you organize the cables and wires connected to the dock. The XM onyX Satellite Radio receiver's vehicle dock provides three connection options to transfer XM Satellite Radio audio to your vehicle's audio system.

  • PowerConnect: The XM onyX Satellite Radio receiver comes supplied with the PowerConnect FM transmitter and cigarette lighter adapter which allows the XM Satellite Radio receiver to wirelessly transmit audio to your vehicle's in-dash headunit over and FM frequency. You can choose from any FM frequency between: 88.1 and 107.9 MHz. You can store up to 5 FM stations so you can quickly access the stations which give you the best audio reception when using the PowerConnect. The PowerConnect FM transmitter and cigarette lighter adapter simply plugs into the power port of the included vehicle dock and the cigarette lighter or 12-volt accessory port of your vehicle.
  • Auxiliary: The XM onyX Satellite Radio receiver's vehicle dock has a minijack audio output (3.5mm) to connect the unit directly to your in-dash headunit's auxiliary input (if applicable), using the supplied stereo minijack cable. When using the line output jack, you can adjust the level to match your headunit's other sources.
  • FM Direct (optional): The FM Direct Adaptor (607FMDA25, sold separately) connects directly in-line with your vehicle's existing AM/FM antenna input (motorola) and the XM Satellite receiver's vehicle dock FM output (2.5mm). This optimizes the XM receiver's built-in FM modulator to your vehicle's radio, especially in regions with a high density of FM radio stations and few open FM channels.

Mounting: The mounting location of the onyX should be easily accessible for controlling the unit and provide good visibility of the unit's display, and should not be located where it will be in direct sunlight, which will affect the visibility of the display screen. The XM onyX Satellite Receiver comes with two mounting options.

  • Self-Adhesive Dash Mount: The onyX includes a self-adhesive plastic mount which allows you to place the unit on your vehicle's dash. The self-adhesive dash-mount allows you to swivel and adjust the unit for better visibility.
  • Vent-Mount: The onyX also includes a plastic mount which allows to you to clip the unit onto one of your vehicle's dash vents.

Note: When mounting the onyX in your vehicle, choose a location where it will not block your vision, interfere with the controls, or obstruct the air bag.

Optional Pro-Fit VSM: The onyX can be mounted using an optional Pro.Fit Vehicle Specific Mount (item 042VSM) and the TS-01 adapter (item 042TS01). Please consult the Crutchfield Vehicle Selector to see if there is a Pro.Fit VSM to fit your vehicle.

Magnetic Antenna: The unit comes supplied with a magnetic antenna that is designed to be run outside of the vehicle and placed on the roof of your vehicle. The magnetic antenna will adhere to your vehicle's sheet metal.

Real-Time Channel Guide: The unit's Real-Time Channel Guide allows you to browse programs, artists, and songs playing on other channels, without having to change the channel you are currently listening to.

Channel Scan: You can scan a category and listen to each channel in the category for 10 seconds before the next channel is automatically tuned.

Favorite Presets: You can save and enjoy fast access to up to 10 of your favorite XM Satellite Radio channels.

One-Touch Jump: The One-Touch Jump function allows you to directly access traffic or weather of the 20 most congested cities, or  go back to the previous channel to which you were listening.

Nice, but car kit could be better

Written By BrianW, Philadelphia, PA on Saturday, June 01, 2013
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
As far an XM receiver goes, the Onyx does the job well at a good price point. My main complaint is that the included car kit does not include the items necessary for a clean and custom-looking installation. The car kit comes with a 12v adapter that plugs into the cigarette lighter/aux power point, a dash mount, and a cable to plug into your car stereo's aux-in jack (miniplug). That's fine for a quick and portable install, but if you want it to look professionally done and clean, you'll want to buy the hard-wire kit and the FM modulator, both of which mount behind the dash and keep you from having cords all over your dashboard. So, plan on spending extra $ at least to get the parts for a clean install. XM/Audiovox should provide a kit option that includes these items instead of the removable plug accessories.
Pros:
Size, mounting cradle, XM functionality, price
Cons:
Car mount kits leaves a lot to be desired

Awsome product

Written By Ray, Prairie grove, Arkansas on Tuesday, May 14, 2013
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
I was apprehensive about putting a portable item in my baby. But it looked pretty good after I attached it to my dash. And it sounds really cool.
Pros:
Sound quality is great. Radio has a very nice look. Easy installation, and did I say it sounds great.
Cons:
The only con I could think about was it is not a factory installed system but that would have cost a lot more than I payed for this system.

Great improvement

Written By Lew M, Woodbridge, Va on Saturday, April 27, 2013
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
This is my fourth XM receiver. The previous three were Delphis which showed signs of failure 5 minutes after the warrantees ran out...poor soldered connections, I think. How 20th century! The new Onyx, made by Audiovox, I believe, is lovely to look at, has a solid feel and is worlds beyond the Delphis in operation. So far it sounds great.

Great Satellite Radio

Written By Tony, Los Angeles, CA on Sunday, April 07, 2013
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
Great replacement radio and easy to use. Activation from Sirius was excellent. I was listening to my favorite music within a few minutes.
Pros:
This unit docks with my Sirius Speaker Boom box. Easy to use. Comes with either a car kit or home kit. I chose the car kit and it plays great on the road. Antenna reception is very good and sound from my Bose system speakers is awesome.
Cons:
You have to get a cassette adapter to play it through your car system. However, it cost only $3.50 and shipping was free. Mounting the unit in the car can be difficult if you plan on using the screws in your dash board. I plan on using Velcro strips instead of the screws.

Not bad

Written By Charles, Dixon, Mo on Saturday, February 02, 2013
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
Very nice little set up. I originally got this because the only decent rock station in my area folded up and became a sports talk station. With a 40 min drive to work this wasn't working so I decided to give Sirius/Xm a chance. I wish I had done it years ago! This little gadget is truly plug and play. The antenna cord was thin enough I ran it through the 3rd brake light fixture on my truck. Set up was easy. My only complaint is Ford trucks all have the round vents now so the mounts that came with it were useless to me. So I ordered a goose neck mount that bolts to the seat floor bolt. Perfect fit and its out of the way of the airbags. Good sound through the AUX connector on the factory stereo. With the rebate you really can't go wrong on price. 4 stars only because I can't give 4.75 stars. Would like to see better mounting options.
Pros:
Inexpensive, small, easy to set up.
Cons:
Mounting hardware was a little lacking. Probably fine for most installers.

XM Onyx

Written By Anonymous, NC on Sunday, December 30, 2012
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
Installation was very easy, and a much cheaper alternative to adding xm to my factory head unit. I am currently transmitting to my radio via 3.5 mm jack so I do not know how well the FM transmitter works. Size is great, very compact even with mounting kit. Multicolor screen is nice for matching to my cars red interior lighting.
Pros:
Size, sound quality, ease of installation, cost

Great radio, but rebate didn't work.

Written By Doc, Old Bethpage, NY on Tuesday, October 16, 2012
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
The radio is great for the price. Only 10 presets, but for me that's fine, since I'm only interested in the music stations, but more presets would have been better. It's nice and compact so it fit exactly where I wanted it on the ashtray of my 3 series. Reception is OK, but the radio requires a pretty strong signal or else it cuts out briefly. Not a whole lot worse that the SX radio on the wife's car, so not a big deal. Installation was a breeze, since it only required a plug-in to the cigarette lighter, running the antenna wire and the wire to the AUX jack. The biggest pain, as anticipated, was hiding and tacking the wires to that they're out of sight with no chance of coming loose. Also not a real problem. The whole thing took maybe 30 minutes. My only real quarrel is with the claim for the rebate. Since I bought the unit on-line 3 on 9/27, it didn't arrive until 10/3 or so. Since the rebate timed out on 9/30 there was really NO chance that I could apply the rebate. And both Crutchfield AND XM said they couldn't help. The extra 50 bucks off would have been nice, but even so, the price is so reasonable and the unit so good that even without the rebate that it was no big deal.
Pros:
Compact, nice looking, good reception. Easy to install.
Cons:
Only 10 presets. More would have been nice. Rebate of no real value to me since I ordered the unit so close to the closing date for the rebate. More cooperation from either Crutchfield OR XM would have been appreciated, but since the radio is so inexpensive, it's not a major issue. Just check closely on the dates of any rebate offers in these ads to be sure that you can use it. Crutchfield ads actually include the rebate off their price, so Caveat Emptor.
Crutchfield response on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
Thanks for your review. You are eligible for the rebate. We asked our Customer Support team to get in touch and help you submit your claim.

Easy to setup, easy to use. This is my first dock style XM. The buttons are small but in my opinion a non issue. I personally prefer a head unit with a XM mode, however this is a bit more convenient since I can bring it in the house and listen.

Size is small to fit in car. Easy to hook up

Pre sets are too close. If you don't feel or look directly at them your lost.No rewind and FF feature like old units. That was a plus on older ones.Doesn't display pre set number, only station number.

AWESOME !!

Written By Brian H, Fort Worth, TX on Friday, September 21, 2012
 
Nothing short of amazing !! I cannot believe I have been a cheapo for so long and have not purchased this before. I spend alot of hours in the car and this product has super clear CD quality sound, the mounting works very well, easy to use, awesome selection of stations. I just can't say enough good about it, works everywhere I travel! No more searching endlessly for a good station in an area that your not familar with. Mounting was a snap -easy. By the way, the antenna works on the dash too - I bought it while on a trip and just threw the antenna on the dash - worked great. Sometimes going under underpasses it lost signal, but for like a second or so. I have mounted the antenna correctly on the outside now and I rarely (if ever) lose signal. Tons of music stations and Blue Collar radio is awesome - I have cracked up for hours listening to that. Take it from me and I am a cheapo, this is no waste of money, and I feel like an idiot for not purchasing this 10 years ago. Well better late than never right. Hats off to XMSirius - you have made my endless travels in the hair MUCH more pleasurable.
Pros:
Everything.
Cons:
None

I like it, the product itself is simple and easy to use. Very easy install, didn't even have to run the antenna outside the vehicle. Wish there were more talk shows other than Howard Stern but that's not Crutchfield's fault. But it.
Pros:
Easy install, easy to use, good value, good customer service, fast shipping, well made, no issues to speak of
Cons:
None as of now. (Using product daily for 2+ weeks)
