I don't smoke, but I do use the lighter socket in the driver's door to power my sat nav and other things which means I have wires from the plug fitted in the door socket across the top of the steering column and over to the centre console area.
I have bought a 'loose' socket from a caravan camping shop which has two wires (obviously) currently fitted with crocodile clips which I will cut off and intend to have it as an auxilary socket poking out from somewhere unobtrusive in the passenger dash area.

My question is: Assuming I fit a suitable in-line fuse and I do not intend to use it for charging the battery or anything high current, where is the best place to take the supply from. The battery, fuse box or a suitable feed in the dash that is 'get atable'through the glove box?

Cheers, Paul

i have mounted my auxillary fag lighter under the dash behind the glove box and connected it to the battery terminals with inline fuse for use with my Road angel. So no visible wires.
