and does anyone know what i can buy and instructions on how to do it? I wanted to move my GPS hook up to that side, instead of it being in the way of my cup holders.

Instead of installing another cigarette lighter there you should jut hard-wire the GPS to the fuse box with an add-a-fuse and drill a hole somewhere in the dash for the wire and put a grommet around it. It would look a lot nicer. I don't think you can fit a cigarette lighter on any of those locations but I don't know cause I have a GD and the switch plates are smaller.

yeah but what if i changed GPS? or moved the GPS from different cars.

well.. i sorta don't mind it going across my stearing wheel down to the middle dash.. but i rather it be all in 1 side.

whats the name of those 3 slots avaible? maybe i can start doing some google searches if i can find some good key words to type in

I'd be weary of doing that and won't for prolonged periods in my 09. We made a few cross country trips in my wife's 08 and let the cable rest on the middle of the dash and it rubbed off some of the color.

Honestly, if you plan to keep the thing mobile, going over the steering wheel is probably your best bet. The best place to add additional cigarette lighter sockets is right next to the existing one in the GEs.
