Sirius Satellite Radio Stratus 5 User Manual page 22

The SIRIUS antenna needs to have an unobstructed area of 3 inches by 3 inches
around it. It is important to mount the antenna where no obstructions will block the
antenna from receiving the SIRIUS signal. Objects which can obstruct the antenna could
be a roof rack, a sunroof, a roof-mounted cargo container, another antenna, etc. If your
vehicle has a potential obstruction, be sure that the SIRIUS antenna is mounted at least
3 inches away from it (but no closer than 3 inches from the roof edge, or trunk lid in the
case of a convertible).
