You sure it doesn't turn off with the CANBUS? Like if you switch a cabin light on manually, it turns off when you lock the car?
No does not turn off
Other than wiring something up between the ignition barrel and the 12V socket, then AFAIK you can't code anything like that.
I'm not saying I don't believe you but I feel as though VW wouldn't do that, it's too easy a thing for people to do and would flatten the battery a lot
Yeah its such a pain everytime having to unplug it
My front 12v socket operates in sync with the ignition... Would have thought that is standard?

I haven't checked my front 12V socket but the one in the boot stays on. I know because it flattened the battery when the fridge was left on by mistake. '06 TDI.
Yep ours is on 24/7. We just lift the plug to the GPS up slightly, works fine, too easy.
