You need to switch the wiring over in the fuse box from the switched live to the permanent live.
Oddly the A6 which my OH has is all permanently live.

Yes ,so i find the fuse for the power sockets then dissconect the feed wire from that and connect to constant live fuse ,is the fuse in the dash on the left or right side and is there a seperate fuse box in the boot ,right side ,any idears on that .

Definitely can't do it with VCDS - the sockets are physically wired to the switched ignition fuse box.

Just checked my manual - the cigarette lighter fuses are all in the boot - red fuse bank fuses 1-4 - fuse 3 in particular is the one for the boot.
I have just made the boot 12 v socket constant live ,i umpuged the socket ,made two leads up with spade terminals ,pluged one from the earth side of the socket then the other end put a ring teinal on it and connected that to the earth point which is easy to see above the fuse holder right side compartment in boot ,then a power feed from the socket back to the fuse box ,using a feed off fuse from halfords ,in a spare fuse slot ,all done in about ten miniutes .
