    So nice to not have a spiral cord on the dash and getting in the way and using up the cigarette lighter port. You'll need a fuse box adapter harness so you can plug this and the factory fuse in the same slot on the fuse box panel (see images and this link): Be sure you get the right size harness, just order this one...comes in four sizes:https://www.amazon.com/Types-Add-Circuit-Adapter-Fuse/dp/B085MGP931/ref=sr_1_14_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=Fuse+TAP+Adapter+assorted+sizes&qid=1601490944&s=automotive&sr=1-14-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExTEM4VUVGRUlCVjROJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNzI2ODcxMjhLWFVURlRKUFhFJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA5MzQ0MDEyQ0FEMk81VTcxWlAxJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfbXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==

    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!

    Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    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!

    Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    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 installed this in my car to hardware an older Escort 8500 x50 blue model. I had been using a third-party cable that developed issues after a few years. This one works just fine, but it costs way too much for what it is -- just a bunch of wire with some connectors and a fuse. I didn't use the wire splice connector that was provided and instead opted to tap off of a fuse. In most modern cars it is difficult to find a "hot-on-run" wire that is accessible!

    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.

    Hooks up easily, even if I didn't use the included T-Tap. I had an existing add-a-fuse for a dash cam already, so I cut the butt connector that held the add-a-fuse and the dash cam, and connected the existing add-a-fuse to both the dash cam and this Escort (yes, mine is actually Escort brand, comes in a box, etc) power wire with a new butt connector. Works just great. Took longer to tuck the wiring away cleanly than it did too connect the new butt connector and bolt down the ground. Definitely do this!

    power to the detector, an Escort Max 360C, works perfect. used an add-a-fuse, as mentioned in a previous review. this cable does only have the 2-wire RJ11, doing away with the mute function of the coiled smart cord, i am guessing.
    came sealed in an OEM Escort package. shipped via FedEx, which was a mess. received the item 2 days after the original ETA since they took the scenic route. not the seller's fault, but plan ahead if you need this in a hurry.
