Product Description
This accessory offers two very useful features, making it the ultimate in convenience. First of all it allows you to hard wire your Escort radar detector directly into your car, eliminating the need for a cigarette lighter plug. The genuine Escort cord offers the very popular SmartCord MuteDisplay module. This module can be mounted anywhere inside your car and provides a power-on indicator, an alert lamp that warns you of radar and laser, and a convenient mute button! It's the perfect addition for any car when reaching the detector's mute button on the windshield is a stretch. Also, for discreet night driving, put your Escort detector in the dark mode, and use the SmartCord MuteDisplay for visual alerts. Other drivers won't know you have a detector. This model of the Direct Wire SmartCord features a blue power light on the lighter plug. Works with the following models: Passport 9500i, Passport 8500 X50, Solo S2, Passport 7500S, Passport 8500, Passport 7500, and Passport 6800.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good SmartCord, June 16, 2011

This review is from: Escort 79-000041-02 Direct Wire SmartCord (Blue) (Electronics)
Worked perfectly in my 08 impreza.

I originally couldn't decide how I wanted to power the detector. The package comes with a 3M plastic wiretap to tap into a wire in your car for power. However, I was having a hard time finding a wire that wasn't active when the car was turned off.

I decided to get a fuse splitter (plugs into fuse and has a wire running out of it, fuse plugs into top of connector) from a local autozone and to plug it into the fuse for the radio because it cuts the power when the car is turned off. I found this to be a cleaner install in the end because I can simply remove the entire setup without leaving anything permanent on the car.

As for wiring the rest, I ran the wire for the SmartCord mute button and display from the fusebox under the steering column and back towards me through the center console before velcroing the button on the side next to my leg and shifter. From there, the light is visible when it alerts and the mute...Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect with the Escort 9500ix., September 24, 2011

This review is from: Escort 79-000041-02 Direct Wire SmartCord (Blue) (Electronics)
I used this hard wire system along with a Blendmount to fully integrate my Passport 9500ix into my car as inconspicuously as possible.

My car (2004 G35 Coupe) has a fuse box right at the drivers feet, just forward of the door. I used a fuse tap to draw power from the circuit that controls the auto-dimming mirror. So the detector starts right up with the car, and turns off with it as well. I also bought a quick connect just like the one used on the included wire tap so everything was "plug and play" for me, If I need to remove it later.

I mounted the "remote" on the driver's side of the center console, where the radio and AC controls are. It's in a perfect spot so that I can both see it (which I'll explain why it's important in just a bit) and can reach it by leaning forward in my seat just slightly. It also can't be seen by officers on either side of the vehicle. If the officer is on the drivers side, the steering wheel hides it. If the officer is on the...Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Escort 79-000041-02 Direct Wire SmartCord (Blue), June 27, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Escort 79-000041-02 Direct Wire SmartCord (Blue) (Electronics)
This Escort Direct Wire Smartcord (Blue) serves the duty very well and will work with either red or blue display Escort detectors. I purchased two of these to go with my old Escort 8500 (Red) and Escort 9500ix (Blue) for two different cars. The blue LED display is much brighter than the red so you might want to consider to install it off the line of sight to reduce the distraction at night. One other thing I want to see the improvement from Escort is to provide more installation options for the display unit other than using Velcro because the sticky tape on the back side of Velcro only work well on hard plastic surface...
