DC Power always on?

Does anyone know if any of the DC power ports in the GL are on all of the time?

Also, can anybody predict when a port is hot or not? I use the port behind the console to power the entertainment system for the second row. Even with the key off, the monitors continue to work overnight. 2008 GL450.

I believe that one is always hot, while the port in the ashtray is switched.
