Customers consistently note the Direct Wire Smartcord for its ease of use and professional-looking installation. Many appreciate its sleek appearance and the convenience of the mute button. While the cord length could be longer for some users, customers appreciate that it eliminates the need for a cigarette lighter connection.

    Relatively easy!

    The wires are long enough to fit most cars, but I would investigate a bit more if installing in an SUV. Also, with regard to the (+) red wire, it would have been nice if an alternate means of attachment to the fuse box were included. Most people have the mini fuses these days, and a jumper attachment that allows you to easily tap the fuse would have been nice and dramatically simplified the installation.

    This is a straight forward install to eliminate wires running down the middle of your dash to the cigarette lighter.

    Over priced for what it is but if you want the lights then this is the only way to go. Should have came with a female adapter. I had to run to radio shack and buy a packet to come back and change it. The light / mute unit should come with something better than Velcro to hold it down with. This is the reason that I gave it a 4 on "Reliability" instead of a 5.

    The wire to the fuse box is short (I had to add two feet of wire). There are no fuse taps so you have to buy them too.

    No wires visible on the dash is always a great thing. Totally worth it.
