Empty cig lighter socket hole under dash

Hi there! I see that there is an empty cig lighter socket hole under the dash. I want to install a 12V socket there, like the one I have in my boot.

What are my options? Can this be done cleanly?

Is it empty as standard?

Mine has a lighter which amazes me as we get next to nothing compared to you guys. Unless I've got it as part of the driver comfort pack?

Would help if you post your models and option packages...

It doesn't matter, the extra under glovebox 12V outlet is not available on all US-Spec vehicles, under a 5 Series.

It does come standard in Canada and Europe spec vehicles..

Might be at cross wires here. I am referring to the one in the centre console near the cup holders. I've no idea if I've another one, blank or not under the dash.

So you have a hole but no socket? Yes, I'd think you could install a socket - they are readily available on Amazon. A picture would be very helpful. If the socket is there, I'd guess PO lost the lighter, in which case you can add a USB plug.
