Another use for this product [Posted on 2008-07-14]
I bought two of these to add radar detectors to my motorcycles. I didn't like the idea of the coiled power cord and with the detector mounted on the RH handlebar, it was not in my direct line of sight. This unit is made for automobiles but the premise is exactly the same. Mount the unit on the dash directly in front of you & the detector can be mounted whereever it is the most efficient. No coiled power cords to dangle about.
I did have to shorten the cord to the unit and put a new RJ11 plug on it, but that is a simple task. There are several alternatives for motorcycles to make the alert warning more visible. All are much more expensive and some are downright inconvenient to use. This is a simple, elegant solution that works very well. Just unplug the unit & change to another bike or your car. The adapter stays on the vehicle & the cord can be safely tucked out of the way.
Mounting the control/mute button [Posted on 2008-07-27]
I mounted the control/mute button on my steering wheel dash, behind the steering wheel. It is in a great place. All the wires were tucked away by the local car stereo shop.
Excellent addition to the Passport. [Posted on 2008-08-15]
Works perfectly. Glad I bought it. For the best installation I recommend professsional installation. Mine is adjacent to my shifter & is super-convenient to use this way. It looks almost as if it's original equipment.
Good item, difficult to install. [Posted on 2008-11-17]
Though a "must have" for Passport Escort users, it is somewhat difficult to install by yourself.
Direct wire is awsome [Posted on 2008-11-27]
