Suggestions for a twin power socket adapter that fits?
#1

Don't know why it shouldn't. The size is universal as far as I know. I have a 3-socket corded plug and works with all my cars.
Local stores - Frys, Radio Shack, Best Buys, etc. should have them. Don't remember where I bought mine.

That's why I bought the corded one so I can move it around depending on the car I use it with. I slapped on a velcro on the side of mine which gives me some location flexibility. I usually attach it to the side of the center console, depending on the car I'm driving.

Hanging two leads off a dual plug like that gets things real crowded, I've tried. My plan is to install another socket in the rear of the console once I get around to it. I can't say I've seen a corded one but never really looked either. I keep the GPS plugged in to the OEM and have the XM dock hot wired. Need one more for charging, that can live in the console.

Am thinking that this might be a neater alternative. A cupholder power adapter. It also has USB ports and a battery-level check indicator.

depeding on wat the op's doing i suggest getting at least one of the two hardwired. you can buy dual USB power sockets these days too.

I have a 4-way splitter sitting in the little area past the two center cupholders.
I actually ran out of sockets on my road trip... GPS, phone, BT headset, tablet AND inverter (for my camera battery). It sucks when they all run out of power at the same time!
I would consider hardwiring my GPS since it's always plugged in my car, but the plug is also a traffic receiver, so no dice there. The rest are sometimes put away.

That doesn't look too complicated. How did you remove the panel? Any ideas where I might be able to buy a matching outlet and a split-out cable?

GVlog, instead of taking pix with my phone, here's a pro pix on their website:
Cup Holder - Universal Car Mount Products - | Bracketron
The clamp/bracket is adjustable so you can use it to hold anything within the range of adjustment - GPS, phone, etc.

Many thanks!
Going back to the idea of installing a 2nd outlet into the panel itself ...
It looks like I could buy part #3 (39620-TA0-003, $7.30) & #4 (39624-SZ3-L01, $6.73) from the diagram below to install an extra socket. I'd just need to drill a matching hole if there's room behind the panel.
I think I just need a connector. Wondering if that would be #1. Unfortunately, I can't find it listed in any of the online Honda parts catalogs.
I'm assuming that #39 is used only if the vehicle has a cigarette lighter assembly (#'s 36, 37 & 38) rather than a power outlet.

Maybe it's the Honda "secret cigarette lighter handshake" connector.

#1 is for the Navi model...that's where the AUX input for the radio is. You would use #3 and #4 to install a second 12v outlet. I only know about dealing with BernardiParts.com, but when you put in your vehicle trim it will only give you parts in the list that came with that trim...i.e., #1 would not show up in the list unless the trim you put in was the Navi model. But the diagram is the same for all trims.
Not sure what #39 is but it looks to be related to #1 somehow.
