Radar Detector Hardwire Kit,Direct Wire Wiring kit for Escort Valentine One Uniden Beltronics Cobra Radar Detector Quick Connection Plug and Play Power Cord Cable(13FT RJ11)

I installed this in my E90 yesterday. There are a few such kits out there but this one gives you every common fuse connection type and the most cable length and its still well priced. It also includes a 5A fuse of every size, some replacement inline fuses, a few zip-ties, and even a trim pry tool! For easier cable routing by just tucking it behind some panels / molding without prying on anything, if you have any problem with the cable walking itself out over time, wrap some double-sided tape around it every 6 inches and tuck it back in. Go ahead and ground it first, but dont plug it in til the rest of its installed - dont risk screwing up and popping the one fuse they gave you. My only complaint with this kit is it could use just a few detailed instructions. Obviously it cant tell you how to route it in your vehicle or which fuse slot you should put it in. But it should tell you about the add-a-circuit system they have here: Now it helps if you have a meter on hand to verify the connections. Having done that I found the reason it has two fuse sockets on the connector is because the one closer to the fins is for an existing fuse, and simply lets that fuse sit in the circuit same as before, while tapping one fin to supply voltage to the radar detector through the 5A fuse you add. This way your RD is on its own (fused) circuit, and you dont need an empty fuse socket (although thats still ideal). Just be sure to find a fuse which isnt energized til key-ON! Or accessory if you want. Its your battery, do what you want. I would recommend this kit. I cant believe how long I used the coily cigarette-lighter cable.

installed it and i have to put the wire a certain way for it to work. pretty much got a defect wire unfortunately.

Had to order two of these kits. Neither one worked. So I went to Walmart and bought a phone cord and made my own. Save your money. Trash.

What is needed

Great kit. It comes with a lengthy cord, several style fuse taps and several 5 amp fuses. Excellent kit and more importantly excellently priced when compared to kits offered by Uniden and other brands.

Easy peasy install. Effortless accessing a power source. Wire is well hidden and ready for use when I get in my truck.

Ive used a number of different kits for detectors and cameras. This is definitely one of the better ones. Everything you need is included, even a fuse puller. A wide assortment of taps will cover most vehicles. The cord is long enough to reach whede you need it, while the rj side is reinforced which is not true on many others.

Works wonderful with my uniden r4. Plenty of cable length, and huge bonus for the included fuse taps and plastic pry tool.

Best kit Ive used of many. with a longer cord than most, the plastic trim tool, and all the fuse pieces.

This definitely help with my wire management.
