[ICOM] Anybody install a 706MKIIG in a 2005 Dakota?

[Davies, Doug A FOR:EX]

I installed mine in a 2001 Toyota Tacoma.  Had, and still have, noise up the
ying-yang.  Did all I could to the vehicle with no significant reduction in
noise level. After talking to a number of hams who also installed the MKIIG
and trying a couple of different radios in the vehicle, I am now convinced
that the majority of the noise is the fault of the radio itself.  My rig is
over sensitive in my opinion, a trait that one would kill for in a base
installation but not desireable with a mobile setup.  I guess in an effort
to cover the spectrum from DC to light, one has to expect some loss of other
parameters.  Don't get me wrong, I love the radio.  I just have to be
satisfied with a constant S-5 noise level in the truck.  I should point out
that this problem with my radio is not a trait shared by all MKIIG's
however.  Some seem to handle mobile installations just fine.  I guess I
just didn't get lucky.

For what it's worth.
