Why do 12v sockets only work with the engine on?

Never had this on any other car (incl other Audi). Means my trickle charger doesn't work (via the sockets), nor does the tyre compressor :thumbsdown:

Is it part of the general dumbing down of everything in life these days? (we can't make it live in case someone runs their battery down, or in case baby Tarquin sticks his finger in it).

ha!
You're probably right: But it's only a matter of rerouting one wire to a permanent live!
I've finally got my head together but now my body is falling apart!
