usb cable route from armrest

What is the best way to route a usb charge cable out from the arm rest?

I have wireless charging but it wouldnt work with my case and I would rather have a cable to charge my phone but can't find a good way to route the cable out of the arm rest.

I usually just line it up in the center crack between the 2 halves in the front of the arm rest.

Why not put another charger in the 12V outlet in the front cubby by the cup holders?

I guess I'm not picturing what you're trying to do. If the phone is resting in the cupholder/wireless phone charger zone, isn't a cable from the 12V outlet in that same zone less messy than one running back to the center console/armrest?

In any event, I hope you find a solution. My car will not be a paragon of tidiness.
