Sounds like you were hard wiring a dash cam or something similar? I wired my dash cam the same way and replaced the cig lighter with a USB socket and plugged in a charger (essential to reduce the voltage to avoid cooking the device!). I bought extended USB leads. I also installed one the on the rear window - an even longer routing to get to the console area, but totally concealed wiring.

I don't think you'll overload the cigar lighter circuit in the console. Those are usually relativley high current (check the fuse) given they are a heating element.
If you don't actually have the cigar lighter at the rear of your console (where the rear vent is), the connector is still inside the console unused and just taped to the harness under the storage bin. So that's ideal as you don't have to cut into the harness or build some sort of adapter. You can just plug it i.
