Customers are saying

Customers are enthusiastic about the Direct Wire Smartcord, particularly its ease of use and professional-looking installation. Many appreciate the improved appearance it provides and the convenience of the mute button. Some customers feel the cord length could be longer, while others are happy to eliminate the need for a cigarette lighter adapter.

    The cord is plenty long. The hardest part of the install is determining where you want to mount the control.

    Just run it to a 12v cable or your battery and it works great. No plugging it in anymore. Turns on and off when car starts. I have a tesla and the radar works great. No issues with interference from cameras or other Bluetooth accessories

    So, rather than take up a valuable port for cell chargers and the like, and not to mention draining your battery down when the car sits, this is the way to go. It only consumes power when the car is turned on
