Summary: KNOW WHAT YOU ARE BUYING!!
Comment: Sorry, but I felt pretty deceived and disappointed when I opened this up. (Quick shipping, however). The picture on Amazon was of an original "EXCORT" brand cord, and yet the price was more reasonable. Words like 'original' and 'Excort Direct Wire SmartCord' led me to believe this was the real thing, and possibly worth the money, even with the shipping... Not So!! What came in was obviously just another Chinese Knock-off with what I assumed would be the typical cheesy quality of such 'stuff'. I wrote the seller, and did receive a quick response. stated that the picture was something that Amazon controlled, and they would be happy to refund, (but no address was included,) and now there's still the inconvenience of getting out in Christmas traffic, standing in line at the PO, plus the total shipping expense, plus the time and gas. After re-reading the ad, I still feel taken advantage of by the wording at the time. There is certainly the possibility that the cord will provide good service over time, but one should be aware that what you might believe you're paying for may not be what arrives in your mailbox.
Customer Rating: Summary: Direct wire is awsome

Customer Rating: Summary: Good item, difficult to install.
Comment: Though a "must have" for Passport Escort users, it is somewhat difficult to install by yourself.
Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent addition to the Passport.
Comment: Works perfectly. Glad I bought it. For the best installation I recommend professsional installation. Mine is adjacent to my shifter & is super-convenient to use this way. It looks almost as if it's original equipment.
Customer Rating: Summary: Mounting the control/mute button
Comment: I mounted the control/mute button on my steering wheel dash, behind the steering wheel. It is in a great place. All the wires were tucked away by the local car stereo shop.
