Anyone Add A 3rd 12V Socket In Their Ford Dash Here?

I am looking to add a 12V socket to the right in the area indicated with a red circle & arrow. Anyone try this?


The two stock 12V sockets in the dash board are in a very bad place for me. I am surprised Ford got away with this for so many years. When my wife plugs in anything, the protrusions & wires get in the way of me down-shifting & up-shifting. I would like to add a 3rd socket (maybe 2 sockets) on her side to keep that stuff with her.

    I added the double USB adapters in my Truck which is real handy for charging cell phones and computers. I also made sure this adapter was HOT all the time and not be turned OFF when the Truck ignition key was OFF.


    Seems like you never have enough adapters to use...

  • Why not just add an extension plug to the one you already have? I have an extension with three female plugs and a USB port. Cord is 6 foot long
