Installation in a vehicle (continued)
Installation in a vehicle with the KPA-H2C kit (available separately)
Note: Do not put Here2Anywhere in the docking station until you have completed the installation.
2. You can bend the leaves on the base to
conform to curved mounting surfaces.
3. Peel the covering away from the adhesive on
the bottom of the base and adhere it to the
mounting surface. Use the provided screws
to securely attach the base to the surface.
• If using screws, be sure that you do not
damage wiring or other systems on the
other side of the mounting surface.
1. Determine where you want to mount
Here2Anywhere.
• Do not install Here2Anywhere where
it may obstruct your view through
the windshield or your view of your
vehicle’s indicator displays.
• Do not install Here2Anywhere where
it will hinder your access to the
vehicle’s controls.
• Do not install Here2Anywhere where
it may hinder the function of safety
devices such as an airbag. Doing so
may prevent the air-bag from
functioning properly in the event of
an accident.
• Find a location that provides good
visibility of and access to
Here2Anywhere’s front panel.
• Kenwood strongly recommends that
you mount Here2Anywhere in a
location where the base can be
attached with the provided screws.
5A. Plug the cassette adapter into the back of the cradle, as shown on the left.
5B. If your car stereo has an aux input, plug the supplied audio cable (instead of the
cassette adapter) into the back of the cradle, as shown on the right. Plug the audio
cable’s white (L ch,) and red (R ch.) connectors into your car stereo.
4. Plug the cigarette lighter adapter
into the back of the cradle, as shown.
Don’t plug the adapter into the
cigarette lighter until the installation
is completed (see pg. 10, Step 10).
6. Temporarily plug the antenna into
the “1-Sat/Terr (Main)” connector on
the back of the cradle until it is firmly
seated, as shown.
2. Before permanently mounting the antenna and routing the
cable, confirm that the antenna is mounted in a good location:
a. Temporarily plug the cigarette lighter adapter into the
cigarette lighter.
b. Slide Here2Anywhere all the way into the cradle so that the
connector at the rear of the unit makes proper contact in the
cradle. Press the POWER button to turn Here2Anywhere on.
c. If your Here2Anywhere has been properly connected and the
antenna is receiving the SIRIUS signal (preview stream
#184) you will hear audio. If you do not hear audio, the
display will read “Acquiring Signal”. Re-orient the antenna
until you hear audio. (See
Antenna Signal
, on page 33 to use
the ANTENNA SIGNAL screen to aim the antenna.)
• Make sure the vehicle is not in garage, or somewhere the
satellite signal could be blocked
3. Turn Here2Anywhere’s power off and remove it from the
cradle; unplug the cigarette lighter adapter from the cigarette
lighter; unplug the antenna from the cradle.
4. Remove the yellow protective backing from the adhesive strip
and firmly adhere it to the underside of the antenna tail. (Do
not remove the red protective backing at this time.)
5. Once the strip is adhered to the tail, remove the red protective
backing from the adhesive and firmly adhere the tail to the
vehicle.
• At room temperature, maximum adhesion usually occurs
within 72 hours. During this period, car washes and other
contact with the antenna and tail should be avoided.
6. Route the exposed portion of the antenna cable from the end
of the tail to the vehicle’s interior by tucking it underneath the
rubber molding around the vehicle’s rear window, as shown
below.

Note: If you’re using the Kenwood CX-SR10 SIRIUS antenna, you’ll need to remove the plastic housings from the antenna connectors
before connecting it to the cradle—we recommend labeling the wires with their respective colors. (See pg. 9, figure 16 of the CX-SR10
Installation Manual for details). Once you’ve removed the housings, connect the wire that had the yellow connector to the connector
on the cradle labeled “1-Sat/Terr (Main)”, and connect the other one to the connector labeled “2-Terr”.
Mounting the included
antenna
1. Find an antenna location on a metal
surface at least 12” x 12”. The antenna
should be mounted exactly 5.5” (the length
of the antenna’s tail) away from the vehicle’s
rear window, so that only the portion of the
cable protected by the tail is exposed, as
shown to the right. The antenna’s 3 powerful
magnets will secure it to the metal surface.
• Do not shorten the antenna’s tail. Doing
so could damage the cable, since its
insulation is integrated with the tail.
• Best reception is achieved with the antenna mounted on the roof; mounting on the
trunk lid will work for convertibles. If the
vehicle has a roof rack or skid ribs, it may
be necessary to mount the antenna offcenter.

2. Plug the AC cord into the power
supply, then plug the power supply
into the back of the cradle, as shown.
Don’t plug the AC cord into a wall outlet until the installation is completed.
1A. Plug the audio cable’s mini connector into the back of the
cradle, as shown.
1B. Plug the audio cable’s white
(L ch,) and red (R ch.) connectors into your audio system.
7. Route the cable from the lowest point of the rear window
into the trunk. Take advantage of any existing cable
channels or wiring conduits.
• For SUVs, minivans & 5-door vehicles, bring the cable into
the vehicle under the rubber molding for the tailgate, and
continue under the interior trim.
8. From the trunk, route the cable around the passenger compartment and to the back of the cradle.
• Do not pull the cable across sharp edges that could damage it.
• Keep the cable away from areas where it could become
tangled in driver’s and passenger’s feet.
9. Plug the antenna into the back of the cradle (see pg. 7,
Step 6).
10. Plug the cigarette lighter adapter into the cigarette lighter.
• KENWOOD RECOMMENDS UNPLUGGING THE CIGA-
RETTE LIGHTER ADAPTER AFTER YOU TURN THE VEHICLE’S IGNITION OFF. (In some vehicles, the cigarette
lighter remains active after the ignition has been turned
off, and leaving Here
2
Anywhere’s cigarette lighter
adapter plugged-into the cigarette lighter could drain
the vehicle’s battery.)
3. Plug the antenna into the back
of the cradle until it is firmly
seated, as shown.
Here2Anywhere Instruction Manual (ver. 2)
4. Due to the paths of the SIRIUS satellites
over the US, the best location for the
antenna will depend on what part of the
country you live in, the orientation of
your home, and the locations of any
obstructions that could prevent the satellite signal from reaching the antenna.
The best antenna location is on the roof,
facing straight up (
see below
).
• The location of the “X” on the map on page
13 must be visible to the antenna
Note:
The antenna is
weatherproof, so it can
be mounted outside
