Default 12v Accessory Outlet?

Look for a hot wire and tap?

I only see one 12v Accessory outlet in the center console.

"Sucks being use to a pick-up truck with four outlets "

What are you all doing for phone, radar detector, GPS etc?

Thanks!

You should have two outlets. Ash tray and center console. You can buy double and triple outlets adapters.

There are two plugs in the console, one in the ashtray one in the armrest tray. You can pick up "Y" splitters that will expand each into 2, though they're admittedly clumsy in a small cabin like the Vette's.

Depending on what radar detector you have you may be able to easily tap the 12V that's in the mirror. I use an Invisicord combined with the Great Lakes mirror mount for my Valentine V1 and it makes for a stealthy setup.
