Change 12V to full time 12V

[Copedawg]

Howdy Ya'll! I have a 2015 Jetta SE TDI and I am installing a camera. I want to change the 12V outlet by the gearshift to full time 12V. (Right now it's only ON when the ignition is ON. Is there a trick to make it Full Time 12 Volts?...like cycle ignition 2 times, roll down right rear window while holding breath run around to passenger side window and yell at dog then pop trunk crawl through rear seats and honk horn twice and cycle engine...blah blah blah...?
I may just have to run a new circuit but I wanted to run it by the experts first...Thanks Ya'll!

Better yet, what would you do?

Thanks!

Is the Jetta fuse box similar to the GSW, where you can simply move the fuse up one slot for constant 12v power?

Well I added a front and rear dash cam (LUKAS LK-9750) to my Jetta the other day. I figured I would post the power slots I am using in the event that some else needs a Constant and Switched Power source. My dash cam has tow power leads. 1. Yellow Wire to connect to a Constant 12v Power...

DIY 12v Constant Power Outlet MOD

I just done a 2014 Passat using a jumper. It had a black 645 relay that was in the same position as the green one pictured above. The jumper goes from top to bottom where pins 3 and 5 on the relay used to plug in

Douglas and hskrdu!!! Thank you BOTH so much! Pictures an ALL! This was the magic I was looking for. I am going to tackle this in the near future (maybe today). I tried to quote both in this reply but I don't think I did it right. I am just so happy you two replied!

I have another question about my vehicle...it's a 2015 ...is this considered a MK6 or a MK7?

Thank you ALL so much!
