Like a lot of folks, I intend to hollow out and line the disc changer with felt.
....leaving the faceplate and sliding door intact. Rather than secured, disguised (and handy).

I am planning on putting the TYT multiband radio there. But may change that plan now.
I pulled out the guts of the center console where the armrest should be and installed a Lockerdown safe. Then I made a cushioned cover to put on top of it.

That is to cool. Looks like a winner. Can you tell me the model and name of the safe so I order the right one?

Let me know what make and model
Nice, were you able to bolt it down to something so it can't be lifted out?
I recently installed Seat Jackers, highly recommend, and they make a bracket that mounts to them across the base of your seat. I’m debating on using this to attach a holster to.
In Michigan we have new legislation stating our gun is required to be locked if left behind in the vehicle. I don’t full understand the coverage of the law, but started looking into this idea. There are so few places to store in these vehicles. I am even wondering about the door. Can a safe be added and concealed in the door.
Because a car door is really easy to openWhy on Earth would you lock up your firearm in the vehicle , after all , you lock the doors , besides ,
that makes it difficult to quickly get to your gun when you need it ??
plus a push button coded safe takes but a second to open. If you're in a quick draw situation and your pistol is in any safe it's your situational awareness and planning that's amiss not the secure storage of your firearmI life in rural Missouri, and I'm a gun owner (and have been for a very long time). Leaving a gun in a vehicle when the vehicle is unattended - even in a locked vehicle - is IMO not responsible firearms ownership. Vehicles get broken into all the time, thieves rustle through the vehicle and will quickly find something like a handgun. In taking with my local police, we've had numerous gun stolen by people leaving them in their vehicle unlocked! Which leads to more illegal guns on the street in the hands of criminals. Please be responsible with your firearms so that we keep guns out of the hands of criminals and so that we can continue to enjoy our 2nd amendment rights .
FYI I don't have a locked storage compartment in my GX - if the handgun is in the DVD box cubby, I'm in the rig or within eyesight of it. Otherwise it's on my person.

What do you do if you're out and about and have errands to run and one of them is at say the post office where you can't carry your pistol in? Where I live is better than most on this issue but theres a lot of places I go where I cannot carry legally. No choice in some cases but but to secure it in the vehicle. Either that or your not carrying at all on that particular day which to me is more risky. Everyone has different bottom lines but responsible gun owners have to make difficult decisions sometimes due to the hodge podge of laws and local regulations depending on where you are in the worldI life in rural Missouri, and I'm a gun owner (and have been for a very long time).

I only very seldomly carry so that is not an issue. If you cannot carry legally than do not - or leave it in a secured/locked location in your vehicle.
I agree that my locked vehicle is a secure location but obviously comply with your local laws. Beyond that it is a personal and situational decision. I’m generally tired of people making criminals out of the victims of crime. To answer the question, I just keep it in the door pocket.
Sorry it took so long but the safe I installed in the console of my 2006 GX470 is a Lockerdown model LD2047 made for 2016-2020 Toyota Tacoma.
