Console Configuration
2011 Standard Corvette
In the console facing toward the front are three access points or holes. One holds a cigarette lighter type socket - the other two have some type of cap inside the console apparently kept in place by small screws.
1. Are the ones with inside caps available for additional cigarette lighter style sockets? If so, undoing the screw does what - lets the cap (inside the console) to fall away back into the area unreachable from the console?
2. Is the area behind the two cap areas blank such that I can remove one of the caps, snake a wire forward toward the ash tray to use for an aftermarket switch or is there something in the way?

Another, much easier option would be to buy a splitter that will provide you with at least two power ports. I did a quick google search and they are about $15 and don't take up much room at all.
