It depends on what hardwire kit you're talking about. The SmartCord DirectWire has power and ground going to the mute/alert/on remote, and that thing has the cable that goes to the radar detector. The regular DirectWire just has power and ground going into a telephone jack. It shouldn't be too difficult to craft a homemade version of that thing. If you want remote mute you'll probably have to get the SmartCord. I haven't seen the SmartCord plug, but I'm guessing there are more than two wires in that plug (power, ground, and remote control).
