Cig Lighter/Outlet
Quick Q for you guys with the "new" console layout.. In my '08 vert I had a cig. lighter/outlet beneath the center console next to the ashtray where I could hook up my radar detector. Got my '11 coupe last week and this has been replaced by a little bin with no power outlet. My CA couldnt believe the only one available is underneath the arm rest next to the ipod hook up, as other models have one next to the glovebox. Is this what we are limited to now? I feel it is impractical and even dangerous to have to run the cable for my radar detector across the cabin from my windshield to the center arm rest. Did I miss something when looking?

Why not just get it hardwired? A good stereo shop could do it in a few minutes and it should only cost ~40 bucks. You can then steathily mount it between the headliner and rearview mirror so its less noticeable. As an added bonus you'll still have your outlet available for other uses.
