Replacing Cigarette Lighter

Has anyone looked into replacing their cigarette lighter with a USB port instead? My main reason for this approach is i find it annoying to constantly have to unplug the current adapter in there to close the tray. I don't use it for anything other than a usb adaptor to charge my phone anyway.

I have included photos below of which cigarette lighter I'm referring to as well as what kind of replacement.

An easier solution in my opinion is to get one of the flush usb adapters. I have them and they are very flush, you think the car came with them that way.

Would happen to have a link to the item or the name of it?

No problem Aukey have good products and they seem to stand behind them and provide good customer support. I'm going to buy on of them for my Android car project.
