Compact satellite tuner for Sirius subscribers
The SIRIUS Stratus 5 is a dock-and-play satellite radio receiver measuring 4.5" x 1.9" x .6" and weighing 3.0 oz. It delivers access to the full Sirius channel lineup through a simple three-line LCD that shows artist, song, and channel information. The package includes a car cradle, antenna, DC power adapter, and both vent and dash mounts for quick vehicle installation.
For drivers who want satellite radio without
This unit suits anyone with a Sirius subscription who wants an easy way to add satellite programming to an existing car stereo. It is not for buyers who need built-in Bluetooth streaming, HD Radio reception, or a permanently mounted head unit with a larger display. The wireless FM transmitter and auxiliary output give two audio paths, but there is no internal storage for pausing or replaying live content.
Subscription-limited service area
A paid Sirius subscription is mandatory, and the signal reaches only the lower 48 states and Canada with limited coverage in Alaska; Hawaii and U.S. territories receive no service. Without an active account the receiver cannot decode any channels, making the subscription the single factor that determines whether this hardware works for you.

Questions about this item
How do I install the Stratus 5 in my vehicle and what step is often missed?
Place the cradle on the dash or vent, mount the magnetic antenna on the roof with a clear sky view, connect the DC power adapter, and run a stereo patch cable to the auxiliary input if you are not using the built-in wireless FM transmitter.
What maintenance or replacement will the Stratus 5 need over time?
The unit has no user-serviceable parts; only the magnetic roof antenna or the DC power adapter may need replacement if they become damaged or lost.
What is the first limit I will hit during a long drive with the Stratus 5?
Satellite coverage ends at the Canadian border and is unavailable in Hawaii, U.S. territories, and most of Alaska, so signal loss is the first hard limit on extended trips.
