Really, Toyota, Really?

[RICHARD BARTH]

I ran into a similar issue some 19 years ago, when I last bought a Toyota. The manual warned that a transmitter

inside the car could cause it to misbehave.


There is a Yahoo group called "Toyotas only" that lets people ask questions about car problems, and I asked 

about putting a ham rig into the car. I got a response from a guy who was both a dealer maintenance tech

and a ham, who said that for my model car the electrical cables ran down the center of the car, so just keep

the ham wiring off to one side. It's worked fine ever since. 


Given that cars are a lot more complex these days, you may want to post a similar question to the group for

whatever year and model your machine is.
