I've heard this talked about here, but how real is it? In cars from 1964
to 2006, I've had all sorts of devices on the 12v system, most without
any fancy protection, and many fairly sensitive, and none ever suffered.
I would think the lead acid battery would sink any spike that came along
and the worst you might get is some hf noise far from the battery. Off
hand, I can't think of any switched inductances or capacitance that
would cause it, and even then, it would have to be far from the battery
I'd guess. Is it a myth?
