Installation Instructions

Important Note: The Direct Wire SmartCord must be installed by someone familiar with automotive electrical systems. If in doubt, see your car dealer or a car radio installer.

The direct wire cord comes with connector to allow easy hook-up to your car's electrical system.

The black ground wires is fitted with a lug to allow it to be installed under any ground screw under your vehicle's dashboard.

The red/black striped wire for +12 volts is fitted with an insulated 1/4" male spade lug. We also have supplied a special 3M connector (in blue) that allows you to tap into an existing wire in your vehicle. This connector can be used only with wire gauges 14 through 18.

To install the connector, position it around the wire you wish to tap into, and squeeze it with pliers until the halves snap together. It is recommended that you tap into "switched" circuit of the vehicle - one that is on when the vehicle is on and off when the vehicle is off. The direct wire can then be plugged into this connector. Make sure the clear insulator sleeve on the direct wire completely covers the connection.

Perfect for a clean install.

"If your doing a clean install, you must get this product. No need to mess with complicated wireing. Just connect one wire to a switched 12 volt and the other to the ground, tuck your wires in and your done. Simple and clean. This is perfect for the radar detectors that have the mute button on the radar detector (Bel 955). If you have an X50 then you need the one with the mute button on it...." Read Full Review »

Easy to Install

"I bought 2 of these wires to hardwire my passport into two different motorcycles, The supplied connectors were not useful as they were too small, so I removed them and used my own connectors. The value of this purchase for me was the connector into the radar detector and the fuse. So far, everything works fine...." Read Full Review »

Escort Direct Wire Cord Review

A cord is a cord

★★★☆☆

"The cord was fine and plenty long enough. The directions were straight forward...the only problem was that the terminals were nstalled backwards. The slide on quick connector was actually attached to the ground side and the ground connector was attached to the power/fused side. "

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
