Customer Reviews:

Hmm...Do I get it fixed or buy a different model?.......2006-10-15

I rely on my Sirius radio to get me through my sometimes legnthy commute so I find problems with it very frustrating. Over the 3 years I have had the H2A I have had to replace the antenna once, and other than the unit getting very hot and the screen being hard to read in the daylight, I could not complain. But now the unit makes no sound. I thought it was only a problem in my car so I took it in the house and plugged it in (I use it 80% in the car and only 20% indoors). No sound from the speakers in the house either. It IS receiving a signal and I can see the song name marching across the screen but no sound. I'm bummed. Guess I'll be on hold with customer service for awhile getting my receiver number changed, though I do love this little machine....

Works OK until it fails........2006-05-06

I've had my H2A receiver for about a year. The display is almost useless except in total darkness, at eye level.

After several months it developed a problem where touching the front panel would lock it up or erase the presets. The problem slowly got worse until I had to use the remote exclusively.

This week while on the road it quit completely.

I can't understand why anyone would spend more than $100 for this unit when there are better ones for half the price, or really better ones for about the same.

And yes, it got really hot when it was working.

Great Sound and Great Price.......2005-04-07

Got this from Sirius direct with the home kit and the car kit for $79! It's probably a close-out model, but it works great and sounds excellent.

The cassette adpater with the car kit sounds (almost) cd quality. Great highs and lows and bass.

I'm not sure about the other reviews with it overheating, but I have an hour and a half commute (on a good day) and haven't had a problem with the unit. The long commute is the main reason I got Sirius - impossible to find music during the "Drive Time".

The home kit works great too. I have the antenna set up in the middle of my living room (nowhere near a window) and have reception.

Hair Nation and the NFL channel! Almost makes me want a longer commute!

Awesome Product!!!.......2005-03-30

hi everybody. i got my kenwood sirius sattelite radio along with the home docking kit 2 weeks ago & i must tell you...i'm hooked on sirius. this is so much better than local radio. my favorite channel is Roadhouse35. but, i like Praise54 to. i've got my radio hooked up to my stereo system & it sounds great. the only thing i'm worried about is that unit get's hot near the LCD panel. but, nothing appears to be wrong with unit other than it get's hot. if it works, then i'll be happy. awesome radio though! thanks sirius!

got eggs to fry??.......2005-01-12

What i like about the unit is the design. Not as tall as other units. Sound quality is great. Now the problem(s)! after 20 minutes of use the screen fades away and signal starts to get lost. After 30 minutes unit is usless. Turn it off for 20 minutes and it is fine for only 20 minutes. I have returned it and already have gone thru 2 other ones with same problem. Kenwood tells me that they have never heard of this problem. Other reviews on other sites are all about this problem. Unit gets so hot you could fry an egg on it. Poor vent design. Got another on the way...gonna give up after this one though. Good luck to all who buys this.

Customer Reviews:

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.

Customer Reviews:

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.
