'05 Ford Explorer Power Outlet

Hello everyone,

I just got a new '05 Ford Explorer XLS and I was disappointed to find
out there is only one 12V power outlet in the whole truck. I need at
least two outlets one for my radar detector and the 2nd would be used
intermittently for various other uses including a cell phone charger or
a palm GPS unit.

I pulled out the center console and found there is a hole that can be
punched out where another power outlet might be able to be installed,
but I though I would ask here first to see if anyone has any suggestions
or experience with this.

Thanks,

Kage_

There is a lighter (power point) connection in the console for a lighter
that comes with the smokers package.
