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.

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.

Sorry, but I felt pretty deceived and disappointed when I opened this up. (Quick shipping, however). The picture on Amazon was of an original “EXCORT” brand cord, and yet the price was more reasonable. Words like ‘original’ and ‘Excort Direct Wire SmartCord’ led me to believe this was the real thing, and possibly worth the money, even with the shipping… Not So!! What came in was obviously just another Chinese Knock-off with what I assumed would be the typical cheesy quality of such ’stuff’. I wrote the seller, and did receive a quick response. stated that the picture was something that Amazon controlled, and they would be happy to refund, (but no address was included,) and now there’s still the inconvenience of getting out in Christmas traffic, standing in line at the PO, plus the total shipping expense, plus the time and gas. After re-reading the ad, I still feel taken advantage of by the wording at the time. There is certainly the possibility that the cord will provide good service over time, but one should be aware that what you might believe you’re paying for may not be what arrives in your mailbox.

I bought this to install in my 20007 Subaru Impreza STi. I like how the interface is small, so I secured it where there was room for OWE switches on the left of the dash. The ease of use makes this little puppy well worth not having a stretch cord hanging in front of the window.
