Q: QuestionDoes this come with a diagram of how to wire it up? Where to tie into the power? What type of fuse should be used and suggested Fuse Amperage?

Asked 4 years ago by EscortGPass.

• A:Answer I used fluke multi meter and popped open rear view mirror cover to expose the magical circuits inside This detector calls for center of shield mount - unusual No wire diagram but the rule of thumb is red to positive and black to ground ;) So find those two with meter - make sure it's only powered with ignition on not to a constant power You will need to explore - be patient- use your cunning If you encounter the ancient bridge dragon that asks the questions three - be not afraid, be calm, it's only 12 volts Plus if your buying a 600 dollar radar detector then you care about tickets and fuses as much as I do (Fuse isn't needed bc the danger is you tapping into a circuit, which is already fused, detector doesn't pull amps but your poor wiring may so do it right ) Combined w uniden long range - performed well, at 130 mph cruise was hit or miss which one went off first Uniden gets more x band junk Escort app like Waze good if any data was imput to it I guess it's in infancy or the two of us paid for this thing are alone Worst case your running wires from mirror area to under dash but all dome lights have power available Good luck and keep left lane clear of idiots

Q: QuestionHow does this product really works?

Asked 10 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer 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. The SmartCord also features a dark mode for discreet night driving, so other drivers won't know you have a detector. The direct wire SmartCord is compatible with contemporary Escort Passport 8500 X50, Solo S2, and Passport 7500S models, along with earlier Passport 8500, 7500, and 6800 detectors.

Q: QuestionI like to remove for second car, so is it best not to have this or is it easy disconnect and move and bring back easy?

Asked 4 months ago by Wil.

• A:Answer Thank you for your question. The Direct Wire SmartCord offers a more permanent placement in one vehicle. If you frequently move your radar detector between vehicles, a standard power cord, like our SmartCord USB, may be more convenient since it allows for quicker setup and removal.
