I have a whistler brand radar detector, and my power cord broke...since i really dont want to ahve to go drop over 100 on a new detector, does anyone have a spare cord they can sell me, or tell me where to get a new cord.

 

broke? how? solder that ****!!!!!!!!!!!

if the cigg. plug broke then cut the wire just above it and splice into your acc. wire.. it will turn on when your car turns to ACC. or ON

Heh yeah, that's not a big deal at all to fix. **** the first thing I did when i put my Cobra in was cut the cig plug-in off. I split the wires, ran the black one to ground, and tapped the black with white stripe wire to my 12 volt supply that I'm using for part of my stereo. Much cleaner looking that way, no unsightly wires coming out of your cigarette lighter. Solder it back together, butt connect it back together, or just do what I did.

 

the problem is the wire broke directly below the plug so its gonna be a bitch to work on, but i ofund a site that has the wire i need, so ill proably order one, the only thing that really sux, is i cant even order it till im back at school, cause my rents will **** a brick if they know i have a radar detector(ive had it 2 years) and to get to school is a 3 hour drive, so its gonna be a long boring drive for me

 

Directly below which plug in? The cig plug-in, or the plug-in that goes to the detector itself?

 

the one to the detector

 

Why don't you goto a Radio Shack or a similar store and buy the end? On my Bel 936, the plug that goes into the detector was a standard size that I just had to find in the store.

You'll probably need a new cord to fit onto that end, but it shouldn't be more than $20.00.

 

thats how much a new cord costs with shipping, so im just gonna order that

though i will be goign to radio shack this week just to check

 

KMart/Walmart/auto parts stores sell universal power cables for radar detectors, etc. Some of them have several small adaptor plugs to fit various device connectors. Last time I purchased one, it was probably about $14.

 

That's what I'm talking about....and it's MUCH faster than having to order one.

 

good call on the universal cord, i spent 10 bucks at best buy today to get a new cord that works
