### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Works great, but the "hook and loop" used to adhere the control is not ideal.
  

*by J***L on Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2014*

I used this to direct wire my Escort radar detector into my 2013 Golf GTI.PROs- Easy to hard-wire your detector and remove the unsightly coiled cord that's hogging your 12v power socket.- Cables supplied with it are generously long, should be able to install a detector just about anywhere you need.- The cable to the detector is flat and easily squeezes into tight spaces around windshield to hide from view.- The controller is exactly the same as the SmartCord that came with the original detector and allows you to see the status of the device and remotely mute alerts.CONs- I wasn't a fan of the hook and loop fastener used to mount the SmartCord controller onto the car. It sticks well to both the car and the smart cord, but they feel like they're only loosely connect to each other. In reality it's never fallen off and I doubt it ever will, it just feels like an unprofessional mounting option. I would probably skip the hook and loop if installing again and just use some good double-sided tape.My install was easy and comprised of the following steps:1. Determine the locations of the various components2. Route the wires appropriately3. Connect to power and groundWhere is the fuse box?-- Driver's side, open the door and it's behind the panel in the center console.Where I wanted the radar detector?-- Horizontal center of windshield, several inches above the dash to give a clear line of sight to the rear windowWhere I wanted the control panel?-- I placed mine on the lower center console below and behind the steering wheel. This isn't exactly ideal as I can't see the lights as they're blocked from view by the steering wheel, but I can easily reach the Mute button by feel, and that's the most important feature for me.Routing the cables was surprisingly easy. The cord to the detector is flat and easily fits between pieces of trim so it can be hidden. I specifically placed the SmartCord control in a location that made it easy to route wires without removing trim panels.I fed both input power and detector output cords through the underside of the dashboard in the drivers foot well, and into the fuse box. I then routed the detector output lead up and out the top of the fuse box, around the bottom of the windshield pillar, and along the gap between the dashboard and the windshield until it reached the center. It took a bit of tugging along the path of the cable, but eventually I had enough length of cable to reach the detector and enough slack to allow me to hide it. I just poked the cable into the gap along the bottom of the windshield with my fingers, squeezed it between trim at the bottom of the pillar, and down into the fuse box.I had quite a lot of cable left over, but I'm sure all cars and locations being different they supply enough cable to cater to all. I just used electrical tape to tie up the excess cable and tape it down to the side of the fuse box to stop it rattling around.To connect to the power supply in my vehicle I used a Bussmann ATM Mini Circuit Converter (Add-a-Fuse) to expand an existing ignition-controlled fuse slot so that the detector only comes on when the ignition is on. The only tricky thing to be aware of is that these fuse adapters only work one way round, so if it doesn't work the first time you need to flip it around and try again.Finally I needed to connect the negative lead somewhere. Most (all?) vehicles run the battery negative feed throughout the entire chassis, so all you need to do is find a (non-structual) metal screw / bolt that can be used to attach the negative lead to the chassis. I also used a multi-meter set to continuity mode just to be doubly sure I had a valid ground connection.In my case the attachment point for the chassis was quite a way from the positive fuse connection, so I just split the power cable down the middle (it's built to do this, don't worry) until I had enough cable to route the negative feed to a valid mounting point.I'm very happy with this kit and so glad to have free access to my 12v power socket again.

    GOOD FOR THE PRICE
  

*by B***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2024*

This is the second direct wire power cord that I have bought, both from amazon. I put one in my old car, and one in my new car! (was too lazy to take the old one out!) The hardest part is having the patience to find an ignition wire that you can tap into. On my last car, I found a wire under the dash, shaved some insulation off, wrapped the wire around it, taped it, and finally ran the cord up the A-arm. Pretty easy. On my new car, I had to go into the fuse box. I really didn't want to do this... -____- I ended up using the wire tap thing that comes with this (the blue piece). All in all, it works just fine. I just wish I could have found a wire elsewhere! Works just as advertised! Also lets me keep my radar detector up in the blue tint strip to make it less obvious to thieves and cops. ;) No more coiled up cord hanging down!

    Good for opening up install options

Was able to mount this in the lower dash and wire through the rear mirror to install my radar detector. Works nicely, quality kit.
