Default Can I get 12v power when Q7 is off?
Is there an easy way to get 12 volt power from my 2018 Q7 when the car is OFF. The cigarette outlets are great, but turn off when the car is off.

Pretty sure there is through the fuse-box. Just be careful not to drain the battery.

Yes, check the dashcam thread.

This post describes access to the front fuses on the driver's end of the dashboard

This post describes access to the fuses in the left rear cubby just inside the hatch:

Fuse boxes are where I would start too. Or, just tap into the battery (with an inline fuse) directly.
What do you want to do?

The RSE plugs still have 12V power when the car is off.

Thanks for the pointer. I'm new to the Q7. Where are the RSE plugs?

I looked into the service manual a bit to see the voltage path. It looks like, at least at first look, that the power is controlled via the J519 module (BCM). So maybe we could change this in the coding?

Great find! Thanks @GTPlus for taking the time. Hope someone will find the coding for this soon.
