Best Radar Detectors for Hardwire

the hardwire cable also adds for a clean finish

i'd also recommend getting the hardwire kit so you can put it up higher next to your rear view mirror.

i kept thinking of the cordless model that everyone says is slower response than this model.

i used to have an old solo that was cordless, but was convinced from reading reviews that the range on these new 8500's was worth the hassle of the "cord" hanging down.

smart and reliable for a cordless model; its performance rivals the best of the corded bunch.

solo cordless strengths: no power cord, good selectivity, good sensitivity, good power conservation weaknesses: none summary: already saved me from 1 or 2 tickets.

the best cordless on the market strengths: no cord, decent battery life, the best of its kind.

summary: if you have to have a cordless there really is no other choice.

summary: although i miss the cordless feature of the battery powered escorts, the sensitivity and very audible alert system make up for this.

pick yourself up the hardwire kit so you free up your lighter socket.

pros: clear bright screen and voice alerts, nice menus, battery voltage indicator, digital compass, customizable colors cons: works only from charger, wished it was cordless.

this is a decent detector; but if you were looking for a cordless / battery powered detector this is not it!!!

it looks great in my windshield (i drive a '98 honda civic with a hardwire kit), and the suction cups work well.

they also have a hard-wired smart plug that gives you more flexibility in the location of the smart-plug device.

cons: wish that bel would package with a soft case, and a hardwire kit.

good coverage for the price strengths: cordlessness.

strengths: price, cordless or corded feature.

i like the cordless feature.

i really like the cordless aspect of this detector.
