Cord Question...

**Mikes12985** · 10-02-2006, 10:17 PM

Where can I buy (common store or online) a cord that is flat like a home telephone cord with the 12v connector that will go into the 12v outlet in my car and not like the regular coiled cord for the RX65 radar. Thanks Mike.

Never seen one like it. I have heard that other users have used regular telephone jacks, but be carefull that you don't fry your detector.

If you dont want to direct wire but want to be discreet, buy a direct cord from radar roy (search radar busters in google) click on any of the bel or escort detectors, then accessories. Take the direct cord and buy a simple cigeratte adaptper from radio shack and their you go.

I am all thumbs when it comes to electronics, but all you need is flat screwdriver and a sharp knife to do this, or they will do it for you at any store,

Could I use the straight power cord that comes with the V1 radar or will it not fit with the RX65. Also does that straight cord have the 12v base as the coiled cord?Thanks Mike

I am not to familiar with the V1 products.

Don't want to give you bad info. Talk to the boys from "the guys of lidar" or radar roy directly.

Any ideas guys?????

If you can't find it, you will have to make one by yourself, but be very careful not to fry your pretty expensive toy :wink:

My best advice I can give you based on my own experience (STI): get the Direct Wire Cord ($10) and then just hardwire it, clean and stealthy :wink:

I just went ahead and bought an 8 foot straight cord ($10) and a lighter adapter ($10) for the V1. It looks like it will fit with the Bel. Anyone know if this will work out for me? Thanks Mike.

Usually you first make sure that it will work and just after that you buy it, but hey, we live in a free country...

It should work, the V1 power cord and the X50 work, and all the top 3 are RJ11 phone cords. I cant see why it wouldnt work.

it should work just fine, i got a 25ft RJ-11 phone cord which all top 3 run off of and i simply wired it discretly and have it plugged into my cig adapter and it works just fine, no E or anything. and the cable was only 2.99 because that color was going out which was fine because it was a tan color just like my leather interior
