If your intent is to operate portable (buddipole in a parking lot) as opposed to mobile, then none of the issues you described about bonding, ferrites, vehicle electrical systems, etc come into play anyhow. Just use the 12v from the vehicle battery (fused of course). You can operate quite awhile that way even with the vehicle turned off to eliminate electrical noise from the vehicle. All built in inverters that I've seen in vehicles require the vehicle to be running. Most are relatively limited in power handling as well. If you do decide to plug a power supply into that vehicle inverter, make sure the inverter can handle the load. I don't see that it makes much sense to go that route, though.
