Review on Optimized Escort ๐Ÿ”ต Direct Wire SmartCord (Blue Light) by Michael Jennings

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great product and easy to install.

I bought this to connect my Passport Max 2 to my car's electrical system. It works exactly as you would expect and provides an easy way to quickly disable the detector if it picks up random signals that don't pose a real threat. My device detects automatic doors and gives me a quick way to silence and block unwanted detections. This cable also features an indicator light that shows when the system has power and another indicator that flashes amber when something is detected. The cable itself is a bulky button and board installation inside the box, that is not so easy to hide. which contrasts with the style of the interior. my car. I don't like cables everywhere, and I don't like that aftermarket products never match the look and feel of a car, so I disassembled my SmartCord and installed it right into the dash. What I did to install this cable was set it to only turn on when the car is on. (no accessories). Then I removed the trim from the dash where I wanted to place the buttons, measured everything and traced where each button goes. Then I drilled the required holes, removed the circuit board from the cable and installed it in my modified dashboard. I used epoxy to secure everything in place so nothing comes loose, when I press the mute button. Then I soldered all the necessary connections back to the cable that I had to cut (to fit where I wanted). Finally I took the bezel from the original cord and glued it to my trace on the outside of the dash. It doesn't look 100% factory installed,

Pros
