Escort Radar Detector Directwire Cord for Redline 360c & Additional Models

I have an Escort Passport 9500ix Radar Detector and hardwired it today to my fuse box using an Add A Circuit Connector! The installation went flawlessly except for two minor problems one being I had a hard time finding a grounding source on my 2020 Subaru Forester that was easy to get at and the second removing the fuse with a fuse puller. I had one of those cheap plastic fuse puller tools and could not get the fuse out. I would recommend to anyone removing the fuse from your fuse panel to use a needle-nose pliers. I used a 5 amp fuse on the Add A Circuit from my radar detector and a 7.5 amp fuse for the power source for my mirror since this was the fuse it was already using. The cord itself is of fine quality and is easily concealed!

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!

I bought another brand name direct wire it worked for one month before low power issues . So decided to go with Escort's direct wire no problems for 15 months.

Worked as stated, Chevrolet dealer provided wire colors, pins must be inserted in correct location on mirror plug,if you insert them at the correct point they will easily go in there full length, other wise they will only go in part way and come lose. tie the wrap power cable to mirror cable at the point were the power cord has the heat shrink on the pin end. By doing this you will have no problem with the leads coming loose from the mirror plug socket. I twisted and turned the mirror and the pins stayed connected and did not loosen up. I would recommend this product as it cleans up the dash area with no unsightly cable going to the auxiliary power outlet on the vehicle. I installed this for a Escort 8500 X50 in my 2012 Tahoe. Very please although I thought the price was a little high, but it works.The supplier sent me an email asking for type of vehicle etc. and a picture of the back of the mirror if possible, excellent customer service.

I purchased this Escort power cord for a Beltronics V955 Radar Detector to be placed on the visor of a Honda CR-V as opposed to the windshield so it remains out of sight. Escort/Beltronics are the same company and share many accessories although it is not well known. One end of the cord plugs into the unit while the other end is split into 2 connectors. One is a grounding wire with a round, open hole connector on the end while the other is a push in connector for the fuse box although I don't know how you connect it. The old way of doing it would be to take the connector off and strip the end of the wire, then stick it into a fuse slot and shove the fuse into it but it is a challenge working under the dash. What I did was cut it off and connected it to an ATC Add-a-fuse Bussmann BP/HHH ATM Add-A-Fuse so I could just plug it into an existing fuse slot cleanly. The cord was a little short to run hidden along the pillar and under the dash so I also had to extend it. I highly recommend the use of ATC or ATM Add-a-fuse. These are extensions that plug into an occupied or vacant fuse slot and turns it into two circuits. They includes an output wire for the added circuit with a butt connector on the end to attach to the power cord for your unit. They can be purchase here on Amazon or any automotive supply store inexpensively, about $7.00 This direct power cord hook-up makes for a clean installation with no exposed wiring.

This is advertised for the escort but it works for the Bel V940 detector. Simple installation. Run the wires along the headliner, down the door to the fuse box. Find a circuit/fuse to wire to for the hot wire and connect the other wire, the ground, to a metal contact point on the vehicle. Plug in the connection at the the detector and there you have it,a detector with no connection to your cigarette lighter/accessory plug and no cord hanging in the middle of the vehicle. This also allows the detector to turn off when the vehicle is off and on only when the vehicle is on. (this last part depends of course on what circuit you wire the detector to at the fuse box)

Everything you see in the description is what you get. The shipping came in on time. The wiring was plenty long enough to tuck inside the interior. How I installed it: I connected the ground wire (the circle end) to a metal screw driver that luckly near the fuse box. Then I cut off the tip of the positive wire (spade looking tip, or red/black wire) and wrapped it around a 5 amp fuse reciever tip (doesn't matter which one), and then just nudged it back into the fuse box (this took me a few tries to get it right, and it might not feel like the "professional" way of doing, but it works) Make sure you connect the ground wire (circle shape, or black wire) to a CORRECT random screw in your car. Because I hooked it up to a random screw driver, and it didn't work. Then I tried a different one, and it worked. Maybe because it was a golden screw, rather a sliver finish look.

Nice tidy solution, used for many years and transfer from car to car, works with uniden detectors too. I guess it’ll work with any rj11 connected device.

I have this hardwired to my Beltronics GT360 and Blendmount. When running the line up through the A pillar and headliner in my 911, leaves just a bit of extra length which I can tuck in behind the mirror. A must have.

Doesn't state it on the listing but it DOES WORK with the 9500ix. I have it in 3 vehicles and just move the detector accordingly with the visor-clip. Hope this helps!

Fast shipping and the direct wire kits functioned perfectly. I will be placing more orders in the future.
