MyFi sound/reception quality question

I'm considering getting a MyFi but my plan is to be able to move it between home/car/work while using different cars (including the Mini ) to get to work. I don't want to buy any additional accessories unless necessary. So how is sound quality/reception in the car when using just the built in antenna and wireless fm transmitter?

I got my own MyFi a few weeks back and love it, though it does have some shortcomings. In my area, I can use it in my house with just the built in antenna and everything is fine with reception. But when u have it in the MINI, Its not so good and dropouts are frequent. A portable external antenna is provided in the kit and comes with a suctino cup mount.
I have had success with this stuck to the sunroof.
As for the FM transmitter, I love it. It works amazingly well. Once you find a open channel, the audio is clear and I haven't any problems with it drifting out of tune like I have had with other FM Xmttrs. I can move in around in the car, habdle it to change channels without problem.

I am going to install the mount and magnetic antenna when I get my Roundtoit. But for now, I can live with this setup.

Hope this helps,
Keith

MyFi is awesome

But for best reception, you have to use the magnetic antenna, routed through the hatch to the back part of the roof.
