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.
