They do make a cordless model called the Solo. Check out

http://www.escortradar.com

But, cordless detectors typically don't perform as well as corded models. I don't think the Solo is equivalent in quality to the 8500.

You may want to consider a "Y splitter" for the cigarette lighter plug to give you another outlet. Althought, my preference would be to direct wire the 8500 into the lighter fuse in the fuse box at the driver's kick panel. This way it turns on automatically when you start the car. You can get direct wires for the 8500 (with and without the "smart" feature) from Escort or perhaps from where you buy the 8500.
