Escort - Automotive In-dash Power Cord - Red

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

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.

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.

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.

The In-dash Power Cord is a good addition. You can easily hide the power cord for your Escort and mount the mute button wherever you wish using a stripe of Velcro.
