It works for me

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.

good radio....bad kit

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.

Best radio, minus the recording ability

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

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.
