I got one a couple of weeks ago. I mounted it in the Mtneer useing the flex goose neck mount from ebay. I have the am/fm boom box for inside.
I just use the fm modulation for the car connection as there are a few blank channels around here.
I cant compare with the first gen since this is my first.
Let me know if you have any questions.

get a myfi, those things kick ass.

The only upgrade is TIVO type capabilities. I had to sell these back when I worked at CC. They look prettier, sure, but internally, they just store music compared to the normal SkyFi.

Oh, and I have a MyFi, paid nothing for it since I got it as a CC promotion some time ago, and it's complete trash. I've heard this unit do 10x better.

I wonder how Delphi's recent going "tits up" will affect the product line.
