Hybrid vehicle noise on HF

] recently installed my IC-706IIG in my Toyota Prius. With the engine running it sounds like a buzz saw in the receiver. Turn the engine off and it works fine. Has anyone else experienced this problem in a hybrid vehicle? I suspect the electric motor is causing the problem, and/or the associated electrical circuits. If anyone has a suggestion or cure for the problem please advise.

hi try powering the radio with external power supply see if noise is still there with engine on if so start grounding everything ferrite beads on all power leads
i asume you are running power stright from the batt shied these leads if possible try rerouting the power cables maby your passing close to a coumputer source try these then we'll go for more
