Review on πŸ”Œ Whistler Intellicord Power Cord: 12V DC Adapter for XTR and CR Laser Radar Detectors - Reliable Black Charging Solution by Tyler Cooley

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nice but painful

I have mixed feelings about this cable. On the one hand, I love the indicators on the plug, and I love being able to power (or recycle) my radar detector with a cord. But on the other hand, the problem is when it comes to muting and turning off the power. There were no instructions, but I figured it was "press once to turn off, two to turn off the sound" and I keep toggling it, not off. My radar detector is a Pro68se which claims to be compatible so this might just be annoying. I'll try "short press/long press" to see if that makes a difference. But in general it's better than the factory cable and has a number of nice features. I also want the cable to be rolled up. I bought this to replace a factory cable that decided to fall apart, so from that perspective it works.

Pros
  • Controls on/off, city mode, dim/dim and quiet/auto-quiet
Cons
  • Minor things
