Got seat covers, elbow rest cover, and console tray from amazon and the power splitter from menards. The seat covers are thin stretchy fabric so they shouldn't affect the heated front seats, not a perfect fit but with 2 kids gives some protection. May cut holes in the cover for the seat belts after adding a rear heated seat pad under the cover. Added a 1/2 inch thick piece of foam exercise flooring under the elbow rest cover made it a little softer and it fit better, the lid closes easily now even with the console tray. With 2 kids in back needed more USB ports and the wife didnt want me to drill holes for permanent ports in the new car(maybe when the splitter fails in a few years). Plugs into the lighter socket at the front and gives another front USB and a back usb with the 3 lighter sockets can expand that with a plug in charger and gives a spot to plug in a rear seat bottom heater or 12volt electric blanket.Attached it with command strips so no marks when I remove it for upgrading.

I'm not sure I understand the utility of the last pictured item.

The plug that goes into the lighter in the front has a usb in it so we can charge the Three phones that have no wireless charging up front and the last pic is of the back seat 2 kids with 2 phones and two tablets in the back to charge on road trips(our idea of a EUV road trip is 75 miles each way so far). I wanted to put in 2 lighter ports so the kids could have electric seat warmers to keep the heat system low (we are in Wyoming) and 2 aditional usb ports in. Was originally going to drill holes and wire in ports but the wife said no way to drilling into the new car So I put in the splitter and will put a lighter to usb adaper in one of the ports for more usb charging.

"...so the kids could have electric seat warmers ..."

There you go. Makes perfect sense.
