I guess it's a little late to be asking this since I have already purchased an XM MYFi from Crutchfield. Like many here, I have wanted to get into satellite radio for a while, but due to the expense of the equipment I have avoided making the plunge.
The MYFi recently had a $50 price drop (349.99 to 299.99) which I thought was a little better. Crutchfield had some scratch and dent units for 254.00. My salesman said that normally means the box is crushed, but all scratch and dent units come with all accessories and warranty. He even said if I got one that was scratched that he would exchange for another unit. XM is also running a promotion until the end of the month where you can get a free Roady2 with the purchase of another XM receiver. So basically I got an XM MYFi and will be getting a XM Roady2 for 254.00 (free shipping). I didn't think it was a bad deal. One for the wife.
You can also add a DIY battery pack and use the supplied antenna to convert the Roady2 into a portable unit.
I have read through the posts here and I have read a few reviews online. I wanted to get the opinions of people who own a MYFi, especially sound quality and line out features. I am also interested in the quality of reception you get from your MYFi unit both indoors and outdoors. Please include details about the area you use your MYFi, like whether you live in a city or in a rural area, or inside or outside. If you use it indoors, please let me know what type of buildings (metal, concrete,block, wood/drywall) get the best and worst reception. Thanks
