Buy the Car Kit Instead.......2006-03-22
The home docking station cuts off the FM tuner capability enough to render that feature useless to transmit to other FM radios in the house. For the same dollar amount, buy the car kit, (I bought a 2nd, and will buy a third). The cradle on the car kit sits in a flat surface just as well as the home unit. If I would have known then, I wouldn't have bought the Home Kit..... P.S. I wrote a similar review on Kenwoods' Website.. Hope this helps..........Amps: Eureka, California.........

Very Pleasant to work with.......2005-09-23
I purchased a Kenwood KPAH2H Sirius Home Kit Cradlebase, Antenna, Ac Ad for a great price, very good communication, fast shipment and no complaints.
Here to Nowhere.......2004-02-27
In an entertainment center on a shelf by itself, my H2A seriously overheast after about two hours of use. The signal usually is lost and I have to shut it down for 20-30 minutes to get the reception to work again.
The provided antenna has a 21 foot long cord. Check your desired location and what window/exit you want to mount the antenna on (the antenna has to face toward the Mason/Dixon Line or face "up" if you are in a state in the center of the country near the Mason/Dixon Line). The short cord length can seriously limit where you put the system. A 50 foot extension cable is listed as an extra cost accessory but finding someone who both carries it and has it in stock is difficult.
The antenna provided with the kit works adequately indoors. Best reception however requires an external mount (especially in Missouri where the unit has to face "up"). The provided antenna is not very rugged so fails to work in rain, etc. There is a high gain antenna available as an extra cost accessory but again, the trick is finding someone to sell you one.

KENWOOD SYSTEM-H2EV
Amazon.com Product Description
Enjoy more than 120 channels of Sirius satellite radio whether sitting in the living room or driving in the car with this comprehensive connection kit, which includes everything you need for vehicle or home installation. The car portion of the kit comes with a remote control with batteries, a car docking cradle, a cigarette lighter power adapter, a magnetic mount antenna, a windshield docking base, and an extra power supply cord with fuse. The home portion, meanwhile, includes a cradle (with power connection), a patch cable, and an indoor/outdoor antenna. The centerpiece of both is the Here2Everywhere tuner, which offers the ability to receive 65 commercial-free music streams and 50 sports, news, and entertainment streams regardless of location. Channel information is conveyed on the six-line, 128-by-64 LCD display, which offers three adjustable font sizes, depending on your taste, along with a dimmer and contrast control.
Channel surfing is easy thanks to the intuitive control knob, 30 station presets, and channel skip and lock functions. Listeners can also use the five search modes to find a favorite stream, artist, song, preset, or music genre. Should you happen upon a favorite song, you can even store the file within the unit's 24-song/artist memory bank, and then recall it later when the time is right. Additional features include a clock with an alarm (and a snooze button), an auto shutoff function, and a built-in wireless FM transmitter that broadcasts the Sirius stations on an empty FM frequency.
The car docking kit offers the option of installing the Here2Everywhere tuner on the windshield or console, depending on which location is most convenient. Once installed, the tuner receives its power through either the cigarette lighter adapter or the power supply cord, which fuses directly to the vehicle's 12-volt battery line. The remote control, meanwhile, offers the same functions as the front panel, making it easy to control the unit without losing sight of the road ahead.
When at home, use the minijack-to-RCA patch cable to connect the H2E tuner to a stereo receiver or any other audio device with RCA inputs. The tuner rests easily in the cradle, which positions it for quick, efficient access to the controls. To receive better reception, listeners can move around the indoor/outdoor antenna until they find the best location. The Here2Everywhere tuner is also reasonably sized at 4.3 by 2.91 by 1.18 inches (W x H x D), so you don't need to clear an entire shelf to enjoy its functions. So join the satellite radio bandwagon with this comprehensive combo kit.
Note: The kit requires an active subscription to Sirius Satellite Radio services.
What's in the Box
Here2Everywhere tuner, remote control, two AAA batteries, car docking cradle, cigarette lighter adapter, car magnetic-mount antenna, car windshield docking base with suction cup, power supply cord, home cradle, patch cable, indoor/outdoor antenna, warranty card, user's manual.

Great little radio.......2006-02-27
I was looking into both Sirius and XM last month, and between their online free trials, I found Sirius to have much better programming. I wanted to find a receiver that would work both in my car and my home, so I came to Amazon to read the reviews. This radio had very good reviews, so I went ahead and bought one.
I couldn't be happier. The radio gets very good reception, both in the car and in my home. Hooking up the radio took very little effort, and the home installation didn't require looking at the manual. I was able to get reception even with the antenna in my window.
I was especially impressed with the reception in the car. Some of the streets I regularly drive down have a lot of tree coverage, but the signal has never gone out, not even skipping.
The display is large and very easy to read, and navigation is very simple.
I only have two minor annoyances with this receiver:
1. There doesn't seem to be an obvious way to open the setup menu from the remote, although you can use the remote to navigate the menu once it's up. You can open the setup menu by hitting the "menu" button on the receiver.
2. The back button on the remote is in the lower left of the remote, which is an odd placement.
I would definitely recommend Sirius overall, and this receiver lived up to my high expectations.
great in-home unit!.......2006-02-13
I love this unit in my home ran into free left and right rca inputs in my receiver. It works great and the station storage is easy to use. I am disappointed with it in my car. It broadcasts an FM signal to your car stereo and in my car the Kenwood deck has to be in one exact place to work at all and then the reception is poor. I just don't bother anymore and will get a separate car unit eventually. I wished I had saved some money and bought one without the car kit but I don't begrudge the cost since it works so well in the house.
Great Deal fo Sirius.......2006-01-09
I bought this Kenwood Sirius car and home system and it is the best deal out there! Sirius provides much better content than XM in my opinion. So I went with this unit. (...).
Pros:
Very easy to read display. Very well made. Everything I would expect from satellite radio.
Cons:
FM modulator is poor(not a real problem I just plugged it in direct thru AUX input). No accessories out yet(Boombox Please!!!)
Here's a tip about the antenna for your car... Find anyway possible to put it on your roof as the directions state. I had the antenna on the trunk of my Integra and the signal would drop out for a second while going under overpasses and big trees. After moving it to the roof I have had much better reception!
Great radio.......2005-12-27
This is my first experience with satellite radio, and I'm very pleased--the sound quality is fantastic (I live in an area which gets lousy FM reception, due to all the hills, so it's a great relief to be able to get radio without static--or commercials). ESPECIALLY no commercials: I've all but given up listening to the local classical station, which several years ago jettisoned the usual low-key FM classical commercials in favor of the speed-freak AM dj hardsell...and the contrast to the beautiful, relaxing music is just too weird to tolerate. So satellite is a godsend for serious music listeners--as long as Sirius keeps the music commercial-free!!
Kenwood has included everything you need for both auto and home installation (the reason it is on the expensive side, but well worth it). I got it mainly for home, where I have a very high quality audio system, and it is every bit up to that level: sounds as good as CD's, but with incredible variety of content. Girlfriend commented, "It's like going to a club...only without the crowds, the smoke, the drunks and the high drink prices." LOVE it! I ended up running the antenna to the roof, but I was surprised how well it did when just placed in a window.
The installation in my van was equally easy...and the reception was good enough with the antenna just placed on the dash, that I'm not sure I'll bother with a roof installation. I may end up having my mechanic hardwire it into the battery, though, as I'll likely forget to remove the cigarette lighter plug, (since that doesn't turn off with my ignition, may run the battery down).
Learning to operate the radio took some study: navigating among 120-some stations is a challenge so they give you a number of ways to do it (the typical broadcast radio might get 10-20 stations, so you can use an analog dial to get around...but doing so with 10 TIMES that many would get unmanagable), but once you get the hang of it--particularly with 30 presets--it's pretty easy.
It's a terrific little radio, and I highly recommend it. Kenwood has done a great job, and thought of everything you need for installation.
Kenwood nails it ! Great system for the bux!.......2005-10-18
Gotta love this thing! No complaints AT ALL!!! I even put my antenna on the dash of my car rather than running it to the roof and it's still nice clear sound coming thru! I doubt I'll ever go back to regular radio. The song seek is a neat feature and easy to use. I guess the ONLY thing that would make it a better unit in my mind is a stronger fm modulator, it wouldn't make it across the room in my office, but I had a modulator I used w/ my laptop and just plugged that in to the unit and it's fine... don't count on much range though! I'd even recommend hardwiring it in the car unless you mount it fairly close to your head unit, but again, that's a SMALL issue if you ask me, reception and over quality more than make up for it!

Here 2 Nowhere.......2004-02-27
The car docking station relies upon using the car radio tuned to one of six hopefully unused FM channels: 88.1 thru 88.9. the H2A transmits a weak signal at that FM frequency and you use your car radio to provide your music enjoyment.
A good concept that is a disaster in execution. The H2A FM output is a very weak signal and unless the unit is mounted near the car radio antenna reception signal-to-noise ratio is poor resulting in lots of noise/hiss.
If you live in an urban area where there is an FM station on all available channels between 88.1 and 88.9 then the system may be totally useless.
BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR FM DIAL FOR STATION ACTIVITY BETWEEN 88.1 and 88.9 BEFORE YOU CONSIDER THIS PRODUCT. If your car radio has any coherent signal received on one of the H2A channels then you won't get good reception using the H2A in that environment on that channel. In my case (St. Louis) the NPR station on 90.7 actually interferes at the upper end of the range and there are jazz stations at the low end.....too bad for me.
sirius sat radio.......2004-02-22
A great product and sirius is a great service i liked it over xm.
Look carefully at the model numbers..........2004-01-01
As of this writing, this item carries an improper description, and the clue is the "FM" suffix on the end of the model number (KPA-H2CFM). This is NOT the usual car kit for the Kenwood Here2Anywhere unit -- it's the FM modulator car kit. In addition to the listed accessories, an FM stereo modulator is integrated into the docking base of this unit, and allows you to have a cordless connection to your car stereo.
This delivers audio nearly as good as the cassette adapter model, and leaves only the cigarette lighter power source and antenna as the only wires you need to worry about.
As with the other car kit, the antenna is a magnetic mount unit, along with a strip of self-adhesive tape for the "tail" portion of the antenna. Cable length is sufficient for nearly any standard sedan, station wagon, or hatchback application. (Unfortunately, installation can be an issue in most pick-up trucks unless you're somewhat creative.)
A good compliment to the Here2Anywhere receiver unit for anyone willing to pay a (roughly) $30 premium for FM instead of a cassette interface.
Double the suggested retail price???.......2003-12-20
There must be some mistake here. This purports to be the car kit, but the car kit (KPA-H2C) has a suggested list price of $29.95 and sells for that at stores all over. At $59.95, this must be something else but since there is no real description, who knows what. Does this include an fm modulator? That would be a good deal.

Best radio, minus the recording ability.......2006-12-05
I have had this receiver for almost two years now. I live in Chicago and never connect it to the external antenna, this is a huge plus for me. It is able to pull in the signal from the ground repeaters around the area. I have friends who have different brands that will not work unless the antenna is connected to the radio. The only thing that would make this radio better would be if it had recording ability.
Best I've owned.......2006-11-23
After having been a subscriber to Sirius for 3 years and having used 3 different tuners in my cars, this one is the best I've used. I live in the West and sometimes travel 10 to 15 hours at a time, through cities and remote areas. I've had zero trouble with reception in all areas, even with a luggage carrier on the car. The receiver is mounted on the windshield at eye level and is easy to read, compared to the others I've had (my Audiovox lasted 12 months and 1 day - just in time for no warranty coverage). The FM modulator works fine in the car but I've always used my iRock FM modulator in the house which broadcasts just great. I also have the other Kenwood "Here2Anywhere" plug and play and, while it works fine, it does not have the FM modulator and the screen is very small, the latter making it harder to glance at the screen and read what it says while you're on the road. That and the fact that it isn't as easy to mount in the car causes me to rate the H2EC much higher.
good radio....bad kit.......2006-09-11
I love my sirius radio, i really really do. I do not listen to regular radio anymore. The setup of this radio was simple, and works well in my Tahoe. The only issue i have is the car kit has broken and i've had it less than a year. I need to replace it but i cannot locate a place to buy just the mounting kit sans radio. I had it professionally installed into my SUV so that i don't have the wires all over the place, and it looks great, and i don't experience the sound issues the others that posted here did.
It works for me.......2006-08-06
I noticed the Kenwood H2E satellite radio has received nothing but bad reviews thus far. My experience with the product is a bit more positive. I've always been a loyal Kenwood customer as far as my audio needs, in fact my old stereo from the mid 80s is still in use, I've had nothing but positive experiences with Kenwood products. As far as my H2E it could be better but overall I'm very satisfied. The FM modulator as everyone stated is very weak, not worth the trouble...don't even bother. However as I use my satellite radio primarily at home, this isn't an issue for me since I simply hook the radio to my stereo using the RCA cable that comes with the product. Reception and sound is perfect, crystal clear...plus Sirius has improved ten-fold with their reception issues over the last couple of months...I used to have frequent drop-outs in signal strength, I haven't had single drop-out in months. The blue display is nice but hard to read if you're more than 10 feet away...I have my radio in the bedroom so this isn't an issue. The hardware itself is good, easy to learn the functions, the remote control is kind of small and has a cramped feel but it's easily learnable. The radio after prolonged use does get warm as others said but it's no different than any other electronic device, in fact much less than most...I haven't experienced no excessive heat or humming sound. Note I bought mine later than the rest of the reviews so it's possible Kenwood has improved the product. Unfortunately I am not able to use my Kenwood H2E in my car because of previous electrical problems in my car unrelated to my satellite radio so I have no clue how it works using the car kit. For primary home use I highly recommened the Kenwood H2E if you have good audio equipment but if you need to use the FM modulator (ie: boombox, alarm clock radio, etc.) I'd find another product.
Pass this one by.......2006-02-16
The Kenwood System-H2EC is a nice little unit however I've experienced plenty of short comings.
1) The FM modulator can't even broadcast it's way out of a paper bag. I pick up so many SIRIUS signals around me now on FM (thank-you Mr Stern) I don't even think I need a unit in the car.
2) The cigarette lighter plug is too big for the socket and pops out constantly.
3) The unit throws out so much heat you have to leave it out in the open or use it as a handwarmer.
4) The buttons are so touchy, the slightest touch will activate one.
5) Programming with the scrolling is a pain in the ....
6) The window mount is so big, I'd swear you could crack the windshield if you don't release the suction cup properly.
