Got this mood done the other day, works well. All done under the hood, completely reversible, not cutting required. Get a micro sized tap a fuse, a 12v relay, some male/female spade connectors and a bit of wire. In mine, there were 2 unused fuse sockets that were keyed with the ignition. I installed the tap a fuse and weird it to the relay to drive the relay. I pulled the fuse for the front accessory port, and wired it online with the switch side of the relay. The spade connectors fit the fuse terminals perfectly. It's not perfect, the circuit I used is only powered in the "run" position, not accessory. But it was better than always on.

It sounds like jallenz had the same idea as me. 2014 TC wagon. Under the hood, fuse 17 drives the front power port. My plan was to pull the fuse and put a relay feeding into the supply side of the fuse socket with a spade connector. I was going to drive the relay from the accessory delay circuit so it would behave like the radio, on till the doors open. I don't have any accessory delay relay though. My manual says it's R8, but the socket is empty. I'm looking for another method now. I figure doing it this way requires no wire cutting, and can be easily restored back to factory. I just need a good easily tapped keyed circuit in the under hood fuse box.
