Since I never played with V1 I don't know what problems they had either

The transformer goes to the panel then the GSM radio daisy chained, I agree
with you tho that it didn't make sense to not make it powered by the aux bus
considering it uses less power than the old unit that could be powered by
the panel however one thing I've seen a lot of with cell units of all brands
is people tend to overload the panel, for that reason alone I'd rather it
have it's own power supply like TelGuard

BTW Was StarLink what you were talking about?

Yes to the second part

It doesn't need one, it has it's own
