[RFI] Hybrid Car RFI

[Gary Smith]

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.
