power source to charge cell phone in 05 X5

Hi-
I just purchased a 2005 X5......this may sound like a crazy question but is there any other power source in this car to plug in a cell phone charger other than the cigarette lighter? I cant find another one anywhere so thought I'd come on here to see if anyone could guide me...thanks!

There are multiple power outlets. One in the ashtray area, another in the front passenger footwell (high up near the dash). A third in the console between the front seats for the back seat passengers. Two more in the cargo area.

Left top corner inside your glovebox compartment is an auxillary power output where a flashlight sits. Pull the flashlight out and plug in an OEM auxillary power adaptor. You can get them at your dealer.

In total that's 6 outlets and I believe that all 6 are un-switched.
That is "they stay on when the key is off".

Thanks everyone for the quick response! Appreciate it! I found them...the 3 in the front are not working yet the 2 in the cargo area are.....sounds like the front ones might need a new fuse? have to check that out!
