I fitted one in the rear of the centre squab, so the rear passengers have somewhere to plug their chargers in.

Coincidence this post, just what I've been doing today but too dark for pics tonight. Stuck a bank of 4 on left side of centre console, just wired into a cig lighter plug for the moment but if I ever get around to it the second battery via a relay.
Also fitted a double socket in a similar spot in the skoda, piggy backed off rear wiper fuse(cheers for the tip ages ago uncle). The factory fit is permanent live which isn't a good idea.

I fitted a couple of USB output sockets, the module takes 12 volts and converts it to 5 V DC some can give out 2.0 amps, so can charge an ipad, iphone, and a multitude of phone chargers that are powered by A USB leads, including sat navs etc. takes up far less space than cigar type sockets which never seem to grip the plug or adaptor that well.
Often the fuse in an adaptor comes loose and drops all the bits into the socket that often blows the fuse.
So with that in mind... if you can individually fuse each socket, you won't take them all out at once.
