Missing one Passenger footwell 12v outlet
While changing out the cabin filter yesterday I noted that I only have one 12v outlet in the passenger footwell, not the two advertised. Is this something funky with just my car, or did other 2010 CTTs not have it as well? And does anyone happen to have the list of parts to install it? I'm assuming harness and outlet would be needed.
Edit: Maybe I should mention that this car seems to have the smoker's pack, ashtray and lighter under the HVAC controls. Would that be the reason?

My smoking package car has 2 12V outlets in the passenger footwell so that's not it, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's a regional thing. I know in the US you had to pay extra to get the second 12V outlet in the rear center console. Could be a similar option for the front one in your region.

My 09 CTTS has the slide out ashtray with lighter but only one outlet in the passenger footwell. I added one in the driver's seat plastic where I plug in my phone charging cord so I don't have to leave the ashtray open for an outlet.

I think it might be 957 thing? I seem to recall seeing someone else with a 957 and only one outlet there. I had a look at the parts diagrams and found the outlets, but couldn't identify if there was an appropriate wiring harness connector. I didn't see an extra hanging out down there in my quick perusal, but maybe it's tucked back in somewhere? Regardless, when I'm overlanding, I never have enough 12v outlets, so I'll probably add a dedicated block with 3 of them somewhere, along with some dedicated USB ports for charging.

Our '09 CS has slide out ashtray and two outlets in the footwell too.

So evidently not a 957 thing. Just an oddly optioned thing. I'm not going to worry about it too much more, and go with an aftermarket cigarette lighter splitter. I've got one on my Jeep XJ that's run from an auxiliary fuse block. I doubt I'll do that on the Cayenne, but rather use one of the unused fuse slots from the main fuse block. Thanks all for the responses!
