I bought two of these to add radar detectors to my motorcycles. I didn't like the idea of the coiled power cord and with the detector mounted on the RH handlebar, it was not in my direct line of sight. This unit is made for automobiles but the premise is exactly the same. Mount the unit on the dash directly in front of you & the detector can be mounted whereever it is the most efficient. No coiled power cords to dangle about.
I did have to shorten the cord to the unit and put a new RJ11 plug on it, but that is a simple task. There are several alternatives for motorcycles to make the alert warning more visible. All are much more expensive and some are downright inconvenient to use. This is a simple, elegant solution that works very well. Just unplug the unit & change to another bike or your car. The adapter stays on the vehicle & the cord can be safely tucked out of the way.

If you want to use your Escort in multiple cars this is the way to go. Not only does it allow you to hardwire your passport but it frees up the wires from the factory if you want to use in another vehicle.

This was the easiest thing I've wired in my car - pretty much plug and play. You just need to find a +12 accessory wire and snap it on with the supplied clamp. It works exactly as the coiled lighter one does, but can be better concealed.
$30 for a wire is pretty ridiculous, and the same thing can be done with a phone wire for less than $5, but it's a quality product.

This is a quick and easy way to hard wire your Escort to keep wires hidden. The only thing you need to know is which wire to attach the clamp to in order to allow the detector to turn off when the car is off.

I purchased this iteam at the same time as my Escort 9500. It has been 10 days since I ordered the Direct Wire. I recieved my 9500 in three days and the Direct Wire still has not shipped yet. I found it cheaper from another distributor on Amazon. I would not buy from this distributor if you want your iteam on time.
