12v fuse position

[Kirky2k2]

Hi all,ive got a 2016 octavia vrs mk3 and I don't like how the 12v sockets are always on. I've read that I can change the position of a fuse behind the glove box so that the 12v sockets only come on with the ignition. I've also read this is only true in vw and seat cars and skoda cheaped out and made it so this cannot be done. Does anyone know for certain if I can or cannot move the fuse so the 12v sockets only come on with the ignition? I want to know for sure before I go to the trouble of getting the glove box out of the way as I've seen on YouTube it's looks very fiddly. If I cannot change the position of the fuse, is there another way to change it so they only come on with the ignition? Thanks

This thread would suggest the fuse can't be moved.

This thread should tell you what you need; I think it's the one I followed when I modded my 2018 SEL to give 12V sockets which switch with the ignition.

yes, I found that thread but I have absolutely no idea what it's on about. I think it assumes one is an electrican and one knows what one is doing (Hint I am not and do not). If its more complicated than just simply moving a fuse's position, I'll just live with it always on, thanks.
