What's The Difference Between Inno1 and Inno2?

The short answer is almost none. Both versions have exactly the same size, shape, features, accessories, storage size, software, and functions. The only difference between the Inno1 and Inno2 is the way that the built in FM transmitter sends the audio to your vehicle's FM radio. Both versions include an FM transmitter that is turned on when you insert the unit into an Inno Car Cradle. The Inno1 has a much more powerful FM transmitter and works very well in most situations without any additional cables or connections to your vehicle's FM radio. Last year, the FCC ordered XM and Pioneer to reduce the output power of the built in FM transmitters. In order to comply with this request, yet still maintain the audio quality customers have come to expect from such devices, Pioneer added an accessory called SureConnect to the new Inno2 with the throttled-down FM transmitters. This is in essence a cable that connects from your Inno2 to an area as close as possible to your vehicle's external FM antenna minimizing the distance that the weaker FM signal has to travel from the Inno to your FM radio.

Which one is better?

If you are in an area with relatively few FM Stations, the Inno1 is a much better option as it is significantly less expensive and the more POWERFUL FM transmitter will do a great job, without having to run any additional cables to your vehicle's FM antenna.. If you are in a large urban market with many local FM stations, the Inno2 may work better as the SureConnect cable should overpower most local FM stations if connected to your vehicle's external FM antenna.

What if I am only using the Inno at home or portably and do not need the FM transmitter in my vehicle?

The Inno1 is your best value as the only difference between the Inno1 and Inno2 is the power of the FM modulator in the car cradle and the SureConnect you need to improve performance in the Inno2. If you will not be using the FM transmitter to move the audio from your Inno to your vehicle's FM radio, the Inno1 again is a better value as they are otherwise identical. You can always use an audio cable , cassette adapter, FM direct connection, or an auxiliary input adapter for much improved sound quality over an wireless FM transmitter with SureConnect or without.
