The 8500 was never meant to be "hardwired." Escort makes other products for this purpose.
Thats like converting a cell phone to a regular landline...

There are 2 ways to power the 8500:
Both of these options allow the device to remain completely portable.
The 8500 was never designed to be permanently hardwired to the vehicle.

Every radar detector is "portable"
Valentine1, which I own, uses a standard telephone cord as a power cable. I ran mine down the trim of the windshield and spliced into the fusebox. Most radar detectors come with a spiral-like power cord and a straight power cord.
