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 Here

Anywhere 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 Here

Anywhere on.

c. If your Here

2

Anywhere 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 Here

Anywhere’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 anten-

na 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.
