Installation in a vehicle: Mounting the antenna

Installation in a vehicle: Routing the cable

1.Temporarily plug the antenna into the “1-Sat/Terr (Main)” connector on the back of the cradle until it is firmly seated, as shown.

Note: If you’re using the Kenwood CX-SR10 SIRIUS antenna, you’ll need to remove the plastic housings from the antenna connectors—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”.

2.Find an antenna location on a metal surface at least 12” x 12”, and at least 6” froma window.

•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 off-center.

3.The antenna’s powerful magnet will secure it to the metal surface.

•Before routing the antenna cable, confirm that the antenna is mounted in a good location:

4. Temporarily plug the cigarette lighter adapter into the cigarette lighter.

5.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.

6.Aim the remote control at Here2Anywhere, press the DIRECT button, then enter the number “1-8-4”, and press the SELECT button. If your Here2Anywhere has been properly connected and the antenna is receiving the SIRIUS signal 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 25 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

7.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.

8.Route the cable from the antenna to the vehicle’s interior by tucking it underneath the rubber molding around rear window, as shown below.

9.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, minvans & 5-door vehicles, bring the cable into the vehicle under the rubber molding for the tail- gate, and continue under the interior trim.

10.From the trunk, route the cable around the passenger compartment and to the back of the cradle.

•Do not pull the wire across sharp edges that could damage it.

•Keep the wire away from areas where it could become tangled in driver’s and passenger’s feet.

11. Plug the	antenna into the back of cradle
(see pg. 8,	Step 1).

12.Plug the cigarette lighter adapter into the cigarette lighter.

•KENWOOD RECOMMENDS UNPLUGGING THE CIGARETTE 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 Here2Anywhere’s cigarette lighter adapter plugged-into the cigarette lighter could drain the vehicle’s battery.)
