I have 2 ports on my car, I dont smoke and I will not allow it in my car so I took and found a power port out of a Silverado and put that in place so I also have a little cover for it as well.

It is a 97+ thing! I am not a fan of the first interior, I like the updated interior better... but that is just me.

Just go out and buy one of those spliters. You can get them to turn one power output into 2 or 3 outputs.

If you've seen the interior though that would go like right where the shifter is kind of, also those look tacky I want mine hidden and the gps chord run behind the dash

Ah yes I forgot about how close they come to the shifter. I never use my power plug. Your best off to run one into the glove box.

A nice GPS would fit great in that gaping hole GM put in the console for cassette tapes. you could wire it all behind the schenes and have a built in looking nav system. if your unit has a remote antenna then route that up to the vent in the middle of the dash cover and keep that hidden too. I may just have to do that if I ever get a early 4th gen.

So it's just plug and play? I don't even have a lighter, just the place for one, and smoking is not allowed in my car either. Yuck.
