There is a location underneath the dash beneath the left side of the glove box that can either have a 12v outlet in it, or have nothing but can be retrofitted with a few OEM parts to provide a 12V outlet. Whether you add the smokers package back into the center console for 12V or add 12V underneath the glove box, you'll need to remove the center console to accommodate the change.

I removed the smoker's package and 12V outlet from my center console and added the OEM cubby area while keeping the existing cover. At the same time I extended the 12V outlet wiring over to a 12V outlet I added in the area described above. It works like a charm.

Some cars came with this under-dash 12V outlet and some didn't, I don't know why. A dealer parts department can determine what parts you need to add the 12V adapter. As I recall, it was just the 12V socket and an electrical connection that I wired into the existing wiring.

Good luck.
