    This Smart Cord for the Escort Radar Detector works as advertised. It shows a blinking red light when the detection becomes active. The button temporarily silences the audible alerts. Best Buy matched the Internet price as they always do.

    Do not expect any detector to save your butt if you're doing 80 around a curve, see a trooper the same time he sees you, and flips his radar on as he sees you! At that moment...it's too late. However, this is a fabulous product!!

    Cable is a must if you use your escort everyday and provides you with a clean car look without any dangling wires.

    Make sure you see what color it is because I wasn’t aware of the color choice - but the product works just fine.

    If you want to hide your writing this is a must have. I have had these in 4 different cars and the all work great. Hardest issue is finding a switchable wire to connect to.

    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.

    Bought this so my radar detector didn’t have wires all over my car. I love how it’s hidden now and the control module is hidden and in a place of my choosing.

    Have relied on Escort's radar detectors for years. This direct wired cord allows you to keep most of it's length hidden away rather than having it hang down in front of the windshield.

    Didn't expect them to carry this. No one carried this except Escort themselves. I didn't want to pay shipping and wait to get the cord. I wanted to hard wire my radar right away and this allows die to do so.
