Adding a lighter socket to Mazda 5

[MSMitch]

Okay, so it's a Mazda 5 - close enough!
Anyway, I would like to add a lighter socket in one of the dummy plates on the L side of the steering wheel to plig in a GPS - anyone know how / WHO could do this for me?

Thanks!

you couldnt just hardwire it to something? like something that ony comes on after you turn the key? like the radio?

if u were going to do that y not just cut the part that plugs into the lighter and hard wire it .. it would be much easier and much better looking...

The GPS moves with us so we'd like option of taking it with us without having to buy and not lose a second cord. But that was my original thought - as the look would be much cleaner.
