My 2011 prius was silent as a stone,

Contacted Toyota, they told me where to run the coax and power cables for my Icom ID-5100.

Run them on the right side of the car in the trough(its underneath the passenger step-in sill) that contains the windshield washer tubing and other stuff.

You will have to unsnap the plastic cover, makes a terrible screech when you remove it,

As you do  the install, you will come to the conclusion the entire car save for a few parts is like a giant snap-together-kit kind of like Mattel made toys.

I am considering purchasing a hybrid car, but hesitate because of possible
RFI between my mobile station (HF/VHF/UHF) and the automotive electrical
system and electronics . Concern is in both directions - received noise, and
susceptibility of the car to RFI from my ham equipment. My interest is
general, but I'm especially interested in Toyota hybrid vehicles. If anybody
knows of problems (or lack of problems) with amateur radio installations in
hybrid vehicles, I would appreciate knowing what has been learned.
