I fitted a second accessory socket. I put it in the passenger side footwell just below the ashtray, in the gap near the airbag ecu. Took about 10 minutes to do by splicing into the original wiring loom that powers the cigarette lighter. It doesn't light up but that's only through choice and has a black cover over it so you hardly know it's there. Will take a picture next time I go out to the car.

I have a reel of 3 amp figure of 8 cable from Maplin which I just cut a length off.
I didn't bother with an inline fuse as I'm only plugging phone chargers and sat nav leads into it. The original fuse should be adequate for these. The socket near the handbrake never gets used now, and I'm fairly sure the lighter still looks like new as the car is a no smoking zone.
