Just Bought A PAssport 8500...Got A Question

Can I get the hardwire kit anywhere besides escortradar.com?

interesting, I figured you just snip the car adapter piece off and stuck the wire to the fuse for the power socket and the other(black) to the ground.
Of well JDWhitney has done the hard wiring gizmo fix to his radar so ask him what he did.
good luck.

I installed my hardwire kit yesterday. Yup, I had to pay the $30 too... Much better than a cord dragging across my dash.

if you got a tweeter or hifi buys near you try them. ask about the kit and when the guy brings it out tell him you want a discount. be bold about it. i got my 8500 and mute cord for $290 w/ tax.

Got mine brand new for $210.

Did you know that if you work at Sharper Image, you can get 30% off of ANYTHING in the store? It pays to know someone that works there. Although he is VERY careful about who and what he uses his discount for.

Yes we do work on commision (unlike best buy that pays you close to min wage) Prices are usually not negotiable unless you find a lower price
