Cobra Elite Direct Wire SmartCord – Hardwire Your Detector – $19.98 (50% Off)
The Cobra Elite Series Direct Wire SmartCord powers your DualPro 360 or Road Scout radar detector without your cigarette lighter outlet, creating a clean, simple interior with no visible cord clutter. On sale for $19.98 – 50% off $39.95. Buy online at PowerHaven Outpost.
How to Hardwire a Cobra DualPro 360
Connect the Direct Wire SmartCord to a fused 12V source (fuse box tap or accessory circuit), route the wire behind trim to your detector, and attach the RJ14 connector. Professional installation is recommended if you're not comfortable with automotive wiring.
How to Tap Into a Fuse Box
Use an add-a-circuit fuse tap on an accessory-switched circuit so the detector powers on with ignition. Always fuse the tap to protect your detector.
Hardwiring in a BMW
For newer BMWs with non-standard 12V outlets that block standard plugs, hardwiring with this kit is the recommended solution.
Compatibility
Works with all current-generation Cobra Elite windshield-mounted detectors – DualPro 360 and Road Scout only.

Cleanest install I've ever done
Hardwired my DualPro 360 above the mirror and you can't see a single wire from the driver's seat. The mute button module mounts within thumb's reach and works flawlessly. Instructions were clear enough even for a modest DIYer. Wish I'd done this years ago instead of fighting the 12V cord.

Great kit, fuse taps not included
Everything works perfectly and the build quality matches the Elite cord. Just note you'll need to source your own fuse taps or an add-a-circuit if you want the cleanest hookup. Once wired to an ignition-switched fuse, the detector powers on with the truck automatically.

No more dangling cords
Took about 45 minutes including tucking the headliner wire. Looks factory installed.

Works fine but install takes patience
The kit itself is solid, no complaints about the hardware or the mute button. Routing the wire through the A-pillar and headliner took me over an hour and some trim removal tools would have helped. If you're not comfortable pulling trim, budget for a professional install.

Perfect for my Road Scout
Straightforward hardwire, everything I needed except the fuse tap which I already had. Mute button placement is exactly where I want it. Detector auto powers with ignition which is a nice QoL upgrade.

Solid kit for a tidy dash
I'm 68 and still did this install myself in my F-250, so it's very doable. Wire length is generous and the included hardware feels quality. Took off a star because the instructions don't cover all vehicle fuse box locations. Once done though, zero clutter and the auto on/off with ignition is wonderful.

Worth every penny
Outlet-free, cord-free, stress-free. The best accessory upgrade for the DualPro 360.

Module failed after a month
Install went smoothly and I loved the clean look for the first few weeks. Then the mute button stopped responding and the unit started cutting power intermittently over bumps, suggesting a loose internal solder joint. Reverting to my cigarette lighter cord for now. Support says warranty replacement is on the way.

Professional result on a budget
My local shop quoted me $120 for a hardwire install, so I bought this kit and watched a couple of videos instead. Thirty minutes of A-pillar tucking later, my Road Scout looks like it came from the factory that way. The mute button module is the same quality as the cord version. Extremely happy with the purchase.
