Review on 12ft Straight Power Cord for Escort & Beltronics Radar Detectors by Shawn Reiter

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Low quality. Short or bad connection.

Poor quality. Short or bad connection of the cigarette lighter adapter. Causes strange behavior including erratic volume control that can only be stopped by unplugging the cable. Will request a refund. UPDATE: I took the thing apart over the weekend and found the problem was that the wire used was a 4 core cable with two wires carelessly cut off instead of using a 2 core cable. At the other end, these wires are still connected to the RJ connector that connects to the detector. In any case, the problem with the crazy volume control and random beeps and lights was caused by one of the badly cut wires being shorted out with a hot wire, which effectively shut down. volume control. After I cut it off so it couldn't short out anymore, the problems went away. It took about 10 minutes.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
