Per Escort website for the Solo 3 found at https://www.escortradar.com/solos3/index.php The Solo 3 can be powered by either 2 AA Batteries, or Escort SmartCord® (Optional). For ease of use the 2 AA batteries is ideal as you can mount it anywhere. But the power cord will be able to supply the Solo 3 with power with out diminishing returns. The smart cord also allows you to mute the alarms at the plug as well and not just on the detector. If you are going to use batteries I suggest you use Eneloop batteries. The ability to recharge them over and over will pay for themselves vs. standard (AA) batteries.

Go to the Escort site. The Solo is battery powered but can be hard wired or what they call Direct wire. www.escortradar.com. Just buy a 9500ix for now. They have a new Escort Max, but give it a year or two to shake the bugs out. I still got popped by a cop with a laser on a city street the other day with my 9500, so nothing is infallible. Got hit last year by a cop coming up a freeway on ramp and got behind me while I was on the freeway and he pulled the trigger and that was that.

No it does not need a cord it works off of batteries . I purchased the plug because I was having to replace them every week.

To my knowledge, all "Solo" models use either battery power or a Smartcord. So technically no, Solo 3 should not require a cord to operate but I woul carry one as a backup power source.

Yes, the headset works without a cord as well. If listening to music the is a monitor (mute) button as well. A separate cord is included with a standard jack and airplane converter plug.

Have to be purchased separately. Comes with power and USB cord, nothing else.

It does come with its own cord but you need a wall adapter for it if you want to plug it into the wall. Otherwise plug it into a computer usb port. My apple wall adapter worked just fine with it. If you have two wall adapters you can charge your phone and the power port separately, but what I did was plug the power port cable to my wall adapter, plugged the cable into the power port, and then hooked the phone to that overnight. That way you charge both the phone and power port at the same time.

Depends on what cord you are asking for.GPS charging cord : Should come with the GPS. If you have specialised needs for an extra long one, you will need to buy that yourself.This mount comes with everything necessary for mounting a device. Any accessories beyond mounting you will need to get yourself (meaning charging cable etc)

There is an auxiliary in jack. You could use an Andriod with the proper cord

yep, via micro usb, just like an Android device. I can't remember if it came with a cord, so you may want to order an extra one if you don't already have one lying around.

No cord required. It has a folding plug in the device. I just plug it into any outlet to charge.

yes only using a 3.5mm cord like for a phone to a car store I recommend not getting this product it is huge and recently mine stop working no idea why. Read the reviews and pay for a name brand

Yes. I have been right in front of the transmitter and lost connection. But usually only for a sec which can be any eternity during a solo. In short, I think you get what you pay for. However, I can't speak from experience because I haven't purchased one yet because I've had bad experiences with this one. I'm using a guitar cord again.

No cord at all. What you see is what you get -- Just two USB sockets. You have to supply your own cord.

The cord needs only to be plugged in for charging purposes or to use the traffic notification feature. Otherwise unplug from cord carry it around using the gps internal battery as power source. Hope this helps.

No........still very happy with my purchase. I can do it alone and if I follow my son I watch the cord for him and it's even faster.

No, it should have come with a cord. Plug the USB side into your own wall charger and the other end into the unit. Hope that makes sense, good luck!

I honestly don't recall, but I am using my USB cord that is simply a standard one. I use the same USB cord to charge my phone, MP3 Players etc. Nothing special. I even used a simple standard USB cord to charge this GPS and also update the maps. So , just in case yours does not come with one, you can find them virtually anywhere, ie, 7 Eleven, Walmart, Amazon, Kmart, Sears, eBay etc. Please let me know if you need more help. By the way. the GPS I got is GREAT for the price. Very surprised and the battery life and performance for the price. Enjoy.
