There’s probably nothing that’s plug-and-play. If you’re not going to draw a lot of current, say to just charge a cell phone, you could tap off a parallel circuit from the existing accessory outlet. You’d have to get to the back of the 12 volt outlet under the radio, strip some insulation off of the two wires with a knife, solder (16-18AWG) wires to each, insulate them, and run them to the back of the glove box where you’d install a 12 volt outlet.
After a quick search I found this link that might help:

Good luck. It’s not that hard but be careful and deliberate and do a clean job soldering. I like using this cable braiding sleeve to protect the wires from abrasion (TechFlex F6N0.25BK Flexo F6 General Purpose 1/4-inch Braided Cable Sleeve).
