Customer Ratings & Reviews

Easy to install and I like the flexibility to put the mute button wherever I want to place it.

I would absolutely recommend this product and have it installed by Best But Audio Installation. Very clean install and this finally removes the plug in part with exposed wiring . Great product and the functionality of it is 100 % accurate.

Picked up a new 360c and even though I already had a hardwired cable for it, I definitely wanted to upgrade and run this smart cord with it. This gives you a nice low alert location as well as a very accessible mute button. This gives you the ability to mute and lockout signals in the newer detectors. No fiddling around with the buttons on top of the detector, just reach a few inches from where my hand is already resting and press mute. The alerts also are active when the screen of the detector is off, this allows you to run the screen blacked out so its not distracting on late night drives but still receive a visual alert from down by your hand.

Really easy instillation! Exactly for what i wanted it. Now my dash looks %100 cleaner!

Works fine like it should. Installer did a great job with placement of mute button.

This hardwire kit is a MUST for Escort radar users!! Really cleans up the look and amplifies user friendliness! Best Buy Professional Autotech installation is highly recommended and worth every penny! Thanks Dr. Dave!!

This makes the Radar 360 look so clean without having cord going down to plug in. Great product

Easy to wire in ..take your time and will come out perfect

These cords are definitely game changing! Why u ask? Direct power and the cords give consistent voltage and don’t worry wires being everywhere!

Perfect and great price. I was so happy i got 2 of them

As someone with OCD, I was always driven insane by the stock cable for my 9500ix hanging down in the middle of my windshield, dashboard and center control panel. When I came across this little beauty, I decided to give it a try. I chose to install this using a Fuse Tap, which allows you to run two fuses off of a single fuse port, and used the port for the car's radio as the source. This means that the radio still has power from one fuse, and the radar has power from the other fuse, but it only takes up one fuse port instead of two. The next step was to route the wires where they couldn't be seen. For that, I got behind some of the molding along the inside of the door, along the side of the dashboard, and then under the roof liner and tucked away all of the cable. My radar is hooked to my mirror using a mirror mount that I bought elsewhere, and now the entire setup looks phenomenal. My only gripe that I can think of here is that the cable that leads to the power source, and also leads to the Smart Switch, could be a bit longer. Where I ended up having to mount the Smart Switch as a result, is not exactly where I'd like it to be, and causes me to have to reach for it a bit more than I'd hoped. That said, it's still an excellent product, and I definitely prefer the way my radar setup looks now, in comparison to how it looked before I installed this product.

Cord was too Short to have button on center cancel, owner did want us to extent the cord with connectors.

The direct wire SmartCord accessory is a unique power cord with a power-on indicator, an alert LED lamp that warns you of radar and laser, and a convenient mute button. Users wire the cord directly into the vehicle fuse panel, and then mount the display module within arm's reach. It's the perfect addition for any driver who might have trouble reaching the detector's mute button on the windshield.

I wanted to hard wire my radar detector in my new car to get rid of those unsightly cords. I had it professionally installed along with my dash cam with the Geek Squad. It looks amazing and it works as advertised!

It works exactly as you'd expect it to, and it provides an easy way to quickly mute the detector when it picks up random signals that aren't actually threats. My unit picks up automatic doors and this gives me a quick way to mute and lockout unwanted detections. This cord also features a light to tell when the system has power and it has another light that flashes yellow when it detects something. The cord itself is a bulky button and pcb setup inside a not so easy to hide box that clashed with the interior style of my car. I don't like having cords everywhere, and I don't like how aftermarket products never match the look and feel of the car, so I ended up taking my SmartCord apart and installing it directly into my dash.

It's perfect in every way. Hid my wire and I get back my outlet as well as now I have a way to mute the detector without reaching up to the windshield. Great Product easy install, just make sure you ground it well and choose a fuse that turns on & off with the car, I used the cig lighter fuse. If you use blinkers or windshield wipers, you're liable to get interference when you actually run those accessories. So my advice is don't use a switched power source that is modulated

easy to install, less bulky around my dash, works like a charm

Easy to install with plenty of cord length for any type of install.

Being hardwired vs adapter is night and day difference. I will never not have a hardwire, install at best buy is very inexpensive compared to the benefit ratio. Don't even question it, its amazing.

This is must have item if you use a radar. The look is way cleaner with no power cable hanging down from the radar. I also like be able to mute the radar without having to reach up for the radar(really good for when a cop has pulled up behind you). I put the button on the console down my leg where my hand would normally rest.
