Ugly phone charger positioning

In the 2016 S550 4Matic, the slots to charge your phone are inside the console. It’s impossible to charge the phone without leaving the console open, or smashing the console closed on top of the cord. I’ve gone through three or four cords this way. In the back, I have a regular plug like the kind inside your house. There are no phone charging slots like I was hoping so I could snake the cord in between the seats and up to my phone. Does anyone have a hack for solving this problem? It seems like a design flaw. There is no cigarette lighter so that kind of adapter is not an option. Thanks.

Thanks so much. I’m so glad I joined this forum. I should have been able to figure this out myself, but I never did.
