Default '97+ console in my '93

I've got the console in already - looks great but I have two issues

1) I removed the cig lighter to mount my satellite radio but I'd still like to have power going to the power outlet by the e-brake. The connectors are completely different. Is there some type of adapter or can I purchase the power outlet's harness and splice it into the existing wire?

2) at the front edge of the console base, there are two tabs with a hole in them that looks like it needs to either be bolted or clipped onto something... do the '97+ dashes have something at that spot or is there a missing piece I can buy to fill that small gap. You can barely see it but I'd still like to make it look better if possible

TIA

Whats the difference between the 97+ and earlier center consoles/ dashes. I was thinking about replacing mine, but didn't even think about swapping it out with a newer one.

The newer ones have better cup holder and also have another cup holder on the side. There is also a extra power outlet.

1. Yes, thats the way it is on the 93. I got mine from a wrecked car, both out lets work on mine that way.


2. I did nothing with them and left them be. I have had both M6 and an A4 console.
