Right its unswitched because it has constant 12v power there is no switch in the circuit meaning it has constant power and the circuit never opens. only way that outlet looses power is if you blow the fuse. the only way to make that outlet work like you want is to put a switch into the circuit somewhere so that you can decide if its on or off or rewire it to a switched power source instead of its current source.
