Too many devices.

I need to run my GPS, a phone charger and a Dash cam.

How/where do I get enough power outlets on a 2019 Multivan?

Get the USB charger with multiple ports from Amazon.

I’ve this one in Tiguan and it works great, the inbuilt voltmeter keeps an eye on the battery and since it’s always connected even when the g option is OFF it’ll show 0.62V flashing, telling me that the canbus in the car is ok.

Use fuse taps on ACC fuses DONT USE ANY SAFETY ONES

This makes life easy and neat, hard wire things in that don't move and hide the wires.

Just don,t make the mistake I made years ago when I wanted a usb device in the dash area , I decided to remove the ciggy plug off the end of the cable and after hard wiring it realised that the plug had a voltage reducer built in which caused smoke to come out of the device DOH!

Highly likely as the USB device was probably only 5 V and you were stuffing 12 through it.

Exactly right it was the early days of dash cameras and it smoked for a second or two which killed it .

Smoking is bad for not only you.

I've still got a cooked USB gadget wired in the Yeti cig lighter, we've all been there and done that!
