As pretty as our older oval flowing dash board is in our 2007, it's not fun to have my wife's electronic gadgets plugged into the 12V outlets which makes shifting gears tricky for me. The plugs stick out so far that I can't shift gears without giving it special thought. I have been considering adding a 12V outlet close to the passenger which would immensely help me out.
I just plug one of these into our E450's dash 12V outlet. The plug from this fits so far into the 12V outlet that the shift lever does not interfere. The two pigtail outlets can be used as is to provide two outlets for cab electronics .... or another one of these pigtails can be plugged into one of the first pigtail's outlets to provide a total of three outlets. Since they're on short cords they can reach across over the top of the doghouse so the passenger can easily plug electroncs into it from the passenger seat:
