Planning on making a permanent home for your Escort radar detector in your car, but want to keep the 12-volt outlet free for charging your portable electronics? This handy Direct Wire SmartCord from Escort lets you hardwire your compatible detector to your vehicle's dash-based fuse box so you can keep your 12-volt port unoccupied. The straight cord runs easily along your windshield or dash to keep your car's interior tidy.

You can mount the plug near the steering wheel for easy operation and quick viewing, even if your detector's in dark mode. The Direct Wire SmartCord works with most current Escort windshield detectors.

It was easy to conceal the wire and tying into the fuse box all depends on your vehicle. I used a fuse tap which simplifies the installation. My only gripe is I thought the ground wire could be a bit heavier and the ground ring was too small.
