Did you ever wish that your Passat had a 12V constant outlet? Like for charging your dead phone while in a meeting, or plugging your battery tending solar panel into? This is a simple way to get your factory outlets to be 12V positive even with the key off.
First of all remove this tray by pressing inwards on both sides while maintaining opening pressure. When it releases, simply open it all the way down and pull it off the hinges.
Next you want to shine the light up into the cavity at the back of this drawer and locate the yellow (or greenish) relay (circled in red) with the number 644 on it. pull this relay out by releasing the lock tab (circled in yellow)
Next you need to open the relay up.
Then check out how the contacts inside the relay work and place an object (I used an electrical terminal) in it to hold the contacts together.
Snap the relay back together and enjoy your "always on" 12V outlets. This retains a fully fused circuit and an OEM look. Below is a pic of the fuse for this circuit.
ENJOY!!!!!
