I believe all of the vehicles I've owned have had a statement in their manuals about transmitters. Despite that, vehicles from many manufacturers, domestic and foreign, are used in services that use transmitters such as police, fire, ambulance, taxi, etc. Some services use multiple radios in vehicles covering everything frequencies from HF through 900mHz (and above?) and varying power levels. I have yet to see one of those vehicles have any RF-related problems affecting vehicle electronics.
If commercial radio installation companies can install transmitters in all of these vehicles without harm it seems to me that hams can do it using similar installation procedures. They are carfeul as to where power is sourced and fused as well as to how power, control, and antenna wires are routed in the vehicle. None of my radio installations since 1970 have ever caused a problem in any vehicle I owned.
