Default 2011 front power outlet, how to make it always on?

In my liberty I moved the M7 fuse position over and it made this outlet constant on regardless of keys being in.

I tried this same method and it seems the M7 fuse must go to the armrest outlet.

Is there a way to make the dash outlet always active?

I don't think so. M7 goes to the rear outlet by the sub. I believe the console is m6, and the armrest is m36. Both of which do not have dual positions.

The front outlet could be wired directly to the battery (with the correct size fuse in the line right next to the battery of course).

I gave this idea up because I wanted more than one outlet. I ran some phat cables to the battery and installed a new fused load center behind the glove box, then mounted a triple outlet against the transmission tunnel just below the dash. Works great.

Bar-B-Que time. I'll try to get back to this. The load center came from a marine supply store, and the triple outlet came from NAPA. A standard 30 amp automotive breaker sits next to the battery.
