3. Route the cable from

the lowest point of the rear window into the trunk. Take advantage of any

10 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.

4.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 or passengers’ feet.

5.Plug the antenna into the

back of the cradle (right).

Note: KENWOOD RECOMMENDS UNPLUGGING THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER ADAPTER AFTER YOU TURN OFF THE VEHICLE’S IGNITION. (In some vehicles, the cigarette lighter remains active after the ignition has been turned off, and leaving Here2Everywhere’s cigarette lighter adapter plugged into the cigarette lighter could drain the vehicle’s battery.)

6.Confirm that the antenna is mounted in a good location.

Make sure the vehicle is not in a garage or somewhere the satellite signal could be blocked.

Slide Here2Everywhere all the way into the cradle so that the connector at the bottom of the unit makes proper contact in the cradle. Press the power ( Finding a Location for the Antenna ) button to turn Here2Everywhere on.

If your Here2Everywhere has been properly connected and the antenna is receiving the SIRIUS signal (Preview Channel #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 Aiming, on page 27 to use the ANTENNA SIGNAL screen to aim the antenna.)

Finding a Location for the Antenna

Due to the paths of the SIRIUS satellites over the U.S., the best location for the antenna will depend

on what part of the country you live in, the orientation 11 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 pg. 13 must be visible to the antenna.
