  • QuestionWill this work without cell service or Wi-Fi?

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer The Onyx EZR works exclusively with our Satellite broadcast and there is no way to connect it to Wi-Fi and no need for nearby cellphone service. This means the EZR will work virtually anywhere in the USA and Canada as long as your antenna has a clear (unobstructed) view of the Southern Sky. Tall buildings, mountains and tunnels may block screen. For best reception in your vehicle be sure to follow the included installation instructions and be sure to mount the vehicle antenna on the OUTSIDE of your vehicle ideally in the roof. If you use your Onyx EZR at home, then nearby Trees will block satellite signal or 'low-e' windows with metallic reflective coatings or even metal window screens will block Satellite reception at home. But reception can be solved by moving your home antenna outside to a location that is higher so it has a clear view of the Southern sky.

  • QuestionMy 2005 Prius has a 12v socket but no AUX to radio. Bluetooth only links a phone - no music. No USB port. Is this radio compatible? (I don't understand how it will access the FM radio without some type of link) thanks

    Asked by beachgirl.

    • Answer Your Onyx EZR has a built in FM Modulator that you can use with your Prius' FM radio. But you will need an FM adapter (Model # FMDA25) to connect from you Onyx EZR to the FM antenna input on the back of your Prius car stereo.. You set a preset on your car stereo to match the FM frequency on your Onyx EZR and when you turn on the Onyx EZR with the FMDA25 it will automatically go to that frequency matching your preset and the FMDA25 will automatically disconnect the car's FM Antenna to avoid all outside interference and you will hear the Onyx EZR on your car stereo. When you turn off the Onyx EZR normal FM reception is restored to your FM radio. We recommend professional installation since typically the dash has to be opened up to access the FM antenna connection. BestBuy's car audio installers can do this or any other car audio stereo shop.

  • QuestionIs there only usb speaker accessibility only, or can bare wire speakers be used?

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer Not sure we understand the question, but if you are trying to install the Onyx EZR into your vehicle, the audio can be connected the following ways: 1) Use the AUDIO output via the AUX cable - if your car stereo has an AUX input. 2) FM PowerConnect- the audio will transmit over an FM channel through your vehicles electrical system- may not work well in all cars. 3) Add the optional FMDA25 (SKU 8116585) and connect directly to your FM antenna (extra adapters may be required. Check with your Geek Squad installer.

  • QuestionCan it connect to Bose wave radio

    Asked by Skip.

    • Answer The Onyx EZR with Vehicle kit is designed for installation in the vehicle. However, if you purchase the optional SXDH4 home kit you can power your Onyx EZR off home power and the SXDH4 can connect to your Bose Wave Radio via the stereo cable with RCA plugs that is included with the SXDH4.

  • QuestionI want to be able to use this in my Class C motor home. Is it possible to place the antenna on the roof of such a vehicle?

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer The Onyx EZR with Vehicle kit comes with an NGVA3 vehicle antenna that magnetically mounts to a "ferrous" metal surface. Your RV may or may not have a metal surface on its roof. Maybe the cover of your AC unit on the roof might be suitable. Alternatively, you can securely mount to the roof a metal plate about 12in x 12in and place the antenna in the center of this plate. Alternatively you can purchase the NGHA3 indoor outdoor antenna which does not need a metal plate and mounts with screws to the roof of your RV. Just be sure to properly water proof any screw perforations to the RV so you don't get any water damage. And secure the antenna's cable so it doesn't flap around in the wind.
