Default 12V Outlets - Always On?

In all my other vehicles, power to 12V outlets was cut when ignition was turned off. I read through the manual and there is a warning that says battery will be drained if something is plugged into the 12V outlet while vehicle is not running. It's a bit of a pain to plug and unplug my V1 every time I get in/out of the Q7.

Any suggestions, comments? Can behaviour of 12V outlets be changed? Anyone hardwire their V1 yet? How and where?

Default I hardwired my V1

located it to the left and above of the rear view mirror. I ran the cable along the windsheild inside the headliner and then down the a-pillar to the drivers side fuse box. I can take a photo for you when I get back from Puerto Rico if you want...
