Step 4: Installing
the Antenna
1. Turn Here
2
Everywhere’s power off and remove
it from the cradle; unplug the cigarette lighter
adapter from the cigarette lighter; unplug the
antenna from the cradle.
2. 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, as shown in the picture. The
antenna’s powerful magnets will secure it to the
metal surface. There is an optional antenna cable
protector, or tail, included with the car antenna.
Note: The best reception is achieved when the
antenna is 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. 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.
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 the driver’s or
passengers’ feet.
5. Plug the antenna into the
back of the cradle (right).
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.
8
• Find a location that provides good visibility of and
access to Here 2 Everywhere’s front panel.
• If using screws, be sure that you do not damage
wiring or other systems that may be close to the
mounting surface.
• Prior to mounting the Pivot, attach the Car
Docking Cradle to the Pivot using the four
enclosed screws.
Step 2: Attaching Power
in a Vehicle
You have two options for powering the
Here
2 Everywhere in your vehicle:
• 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 6).
• Or, wire the Extra Power Supply Cord with Fuse
to the vehicle +12V battery line. Use caution in
wiring to your vehicle’s electrical system. Kenwood
recommends having an audio installer professional
perform this step.
Step 3: Connecting Audio
To connect audio to Here
2
Everywhere in your vehicle:
• Tune your vehicle radio to an unused FM
station, and using the FM Transmitter Options
feature on the Here
2 Everywhere Menu, select the
same station. To use the Menu option, please see
pg. 23. When using Here
2
Everywhere, make sure
you’ve tuned to the same station as you have
previously set in the Menu setup.
Tip: The Here
2
Everywhere also has a Wired FM
Output. If you experience noise or other audio
problems, you may want to have a professional
installer add a connection from the Wired FM
Output of the Car Cradle to the vehicle antenna
input. Consult your car audio dealer or
professional installer for assistance.
