Chain Smoker?
If the how-to isn't in the how-to section, then your probably best to just google it.

What about just getting adapters like these:
www.halfords.com/webap...yId_165489
If it's an iphone you can also get ones that have usb ports on them too so you could use that charger as well.

Seen these just want one hidden, no wires. I know people have them on here but they never put a 'how to' up.

Fair enough! Do you have an aftermarket stereo with a double ended female bullet connector on the yellow wire (ignition live) If so you could bullet connect a wire into there and feed the wire to the glovebox. Failing that you might need to scotch lock it or something. Then earth the other wire.
Fitting it? Well you'll need to see what space you have to play with. I assume there will be more room further back, so you could remove the glovebox, drill a hole then push the fitting in so it clips in place as normal.
Just my 2p.
