Does this unit come with a "Hardwire Kit"? Do any of you use one?

It does come with one: long wiring with fuse in line. I use the plug in though.

Yes it does come bith Hardwire kit. I have bought one recently and haven't used the hardwire kit instead I used the power adapter.

Not sure what you mean by a "hardware kit," but it does come with both the usual 12V plug adapter plus extra wire that can be used to connect it directly into your car's battery/electrical system. For the money, this detector is exceptional.

No wire came with kit. The wire is available at "big box" home improvement store and is not cheap! Pay a little extra to make sure you have plenty of wire... would be a shame to buy the wire twice for needing 5 more feet. Also need a drill to drill the 1/4" hole for the bolt. Great kit!

Only wire is the safety disconnect box in case tow bar and runaway cables break. I'm not using mine, so no wires for me. I love this unit, so easy to use and setup. Comes with a wireless remote that tells me it's working correctly.

Yes, it comes with it. It is included in the box and is a wire that connects in the back of the unit which you can secure to the wall behind wherever you install it.

It does not come with a C-wire transformer. If you are sure you don't have power coming from you AC (mine did), then you will need a transformer. The wifi module slides into the back of the unit, and is why they say it "includes 1 ..."

Hi, there is splicing into wires with this kit, it is not a plug and play system.

No - you need the entire system including a central unit & power supply - AND would need to be pre-wired for it or have CAT-5 cable already in place. One would generally buy these to augment a kit that would have all that's needed to get started.

I just used the wires supplied from the unit itself. Simple 3 wire connection. There are no additional connections or additional wire needed. Simple instructions will show you where to connect them. Should you have any issues, please let me know. You will be very happy with this unit. I am. Ron, Mesa, AZ PS remember to shut off A/C unit breaker before attempting to install.

Hard wired, but kit comes with the wire nuts. Pretty simple install. All you need is a Philips screwdriver if I remember correctly.

I'm not sure but mine came with about a 4' 3 prong wire. So no I did not have to hardwire mine.

Yes i found the wire that comes with the system just fine. If your setup needs a longer wire, then that may be a reason to invest in a thicker one, otherwise there is too much hype even in AVS forums about the wire.

I just received mine and there was no wiring. Only a pig-tail wire with connector to hook the wiring into it. I am looking into buying a wiring kit so that I can install it.

This unit is sent for hard wire only. They work great. You might want to put a plug pigtail on it for plug in to a wall outlet.

Yes it comes with wiring harness and diagram. Great unit with front, rear, and sub RCA out or use the wiring harness for high pass freq.

Unfortunately no in my experiencce... The fact it has a hardwire input is a good thing though in my opinion - i just paired it with a belkin gigabit powerline. I also have the Klipsch airplay speaker which does not have the hardwire in.
