Bring it all back home

The Onyx Plus Dock & Play satellite radio brings you SiriusXM programming in a compact, portable package that comes with everything you need to listen to your favorite channels in your den or at your desk. The package includes a docking cradle for connecting to your home stereo, an antenna for picking up the satellite radio signal, and a miniplug-to-RCA audio cable. You also get a handy remote that lets you control the action.

Everything about the Onyx Plus is designed to help you get the most out of your satellite radio subscription. From the big control knob to the vivid color display to the high-tech features, it's all about making your favorite SiriusXM programming even more enjoyable. 

What you like, the way you like it

You can view program and channel information on the color display, along with great graphics like channel logos and album art. With TuneStart, you can start a song from the beginning; while TuneMix lets you combine your favorite channels into a music channel that's uniquely yours. If you missed something (or simply want to hear it again), you can pause, rewind, and replay on your favorite channels for up to 30 minutes. You can also use TuneScan™ to scan and select songs you've already played on your favorite channels.

If you're switching back between two shows (music and a sporting event, for example), you can use the One-Touch Jump™ feature to jump back to the previous channel. If you're a sports fan, you'll never miss a score with the Sports Ticker. And you can always access weather and traffic for the city of your choice with the press of a button.

Get even more of what you like

robin w  Sep 16, 2022

Yes, the audio level of Onyx Plus can be adjusted when an audio connection is made between the Home Dock and the stereo system. Audio level is used to adjust Onyx Plus's volume level to match the volume of other audio sources you may use. The volume control on your stereo system is how you'll adjust the volume. You can find more information on how to set the audio level on page 69 of this manual https://pdf.crutchfieldonline.com/ImageBank/v20140313111000/Manuals/220/220SXPL1H1.PDF .

Q
I am considering a home satellite system to mate with a home, AM/FM stereo system. I live in a fairly remote area. Is there a home AM/FM stereo receiver/tuner that a Sirius satellite system pairs with well and easily? Do you have any recommendations for such a sytem? Also, I am trying to keep the cost down.
robert  Jul 26, 2019
1 answer
A
Hi Robert! Thank you for your question! The XM Home Kits are pretty universal, and will connect up to any home stereo receiver. If you do run into problems with reception, we do offer some additional XM antennae for the home that could be a solution for you should you need to go that route. Chat with an Advisor online or by phone at 1-800-324-9695, if you'd like some more info!

This radio is just the head unit. It has no audio capabilities without external speakers. Does not work off batteries alone.
alexander  Dec 05, 2017
A
IIt does not have AM capability and the FM is done through the stereo it is hooked up to. It is hooked up through the power port in the car or an AC adapter if you have the home docking station. Sound will be as good as the stereo you have it hooked up to.

Q
Can I plug in a headphone jack to listen on my headphones?
elizabeth  Mar 30, 2017
1 answer
A
Your success at direct earphone feed may depend on the impedance and sensitivity of the earphones. My Serius XM Onyx audio output is normally connected to the preamp of a hi-fi system. I just tested with a Grado Prestige series SR125 headphone pair and the audio output was plenty loud enough.

Can the antenna be mounted outside on a roof facing south? Weather proof?
hank  Mar 07, 2016
4 answers
A
If you're asking for automotive purposes, yes! The car "antenna" is a mag-mount making placing a breeze. If it's for a home kit, I don't believe the antenna that comes with is meant to be outside. However, I think there are outdoor options.
mike a  Mar 16, 2016
A
I' m not sure what you mean about south. But yes the antenna works best on top of your roof and it is weather proof
rich  Mar 10, 2016
A
Yes we do it all the time. You can buy a cable splitter and run up to three receivers off one antenna.
dave  Mar 08, 2016
A
After learning the hard way several times with no help from the people at SiriusXM, if you have a receiver that originated from the Sirius company, ie, the Starmate line, it must face north. (Towards Minneapolis) If you have a receiver that originated from the XM business, you would aim it south. As far as weather proof, I have had my antennae mounted outside for 10 years in Omaha NE and no problems other than the infrequent weather interrupts.

rich  Feb 26, 2015
A
There is a speaker jack on the back of the unit. You can use any speakers with a mini-jack. Or,I jacked mine to my tuner-amp and play it through my Bose system. The instructions for hookup to amp say to use the "tape" input. That way the jacks work. Simple. Sounds great.

I ONLY USE MY SIRIUSXM ONYX PLUS AT HOME SO I GOT A SIRIUSXM SPEAKER DOCK. WORKS GREAT AND HAS EXCELLENT SOUND QUALITY. NO PROBLEMS WITH THE TWO CONNECTED TOGETHER. I WOULD BUY BOTH AGAIN.
richard  Feb 25, 2015
A
You connect speakers via the audio input which is in the back of the cradle. If you have a home stereo with an auxiliary input, get a RCA audio cable and connect it that way. If you have portable speakers with a 3.5 mm input, you can plug that into the back of the unit. In the car, you can listen to it through FM radio, a cassette adapter if your radio has a cassette player or through the auxiliary input if your car has an auxiliary input (granted you have an audio cable). RCA and audio cables are cheap.
amanda  Feb 25, 2015

Sorry but I had to return the unit as I was unable to get reception.

To my ears it is stereo. It is hooked up to an integrated stereo amp with a pair of B&W speakers and I can tell left channel and right channel sounds. Not mono.
