HARDWIRING
when you people hard wire your radar detextors..where do u get the extra long cords
Phone cords work but if you go too long you can get voltage problems
Yep...just plain old phone cordsOriginally Posted by spankyaf
Happenened to me once, while I hardwired it by extending the Cig lighter.......LOW VOLT warnings all over the place
if you go to a hardware store, or an electrical supply house, you can get what is called "station to station" telephone wire (4-conductor) it is extra heavy gauge wire compared to pre-made lengths with the jacks already installed.
a crimping pliers for standard telephone jack connectors is less than $10.00 in most cases for a plastic one (works fine for occasional use) and a package of connectors is usually around 99 cents.
if you are going longer than 6-feet, i suggest this heavier gauge wire for less chance of problems. It sure is alot esier to custom cut too.
how long is the cord that comes with the passport/bel smart cord hardwire? when you hardwire are you just uising phone cord instead or adding it into the smart cord hardwire kit?
I used the basic hardwire kit from Bel and it's about 8 feet long
Get the Add-A-Circuit thingy from an auto parts store....plugs into an empty fuse....easiest way to get power.....
