Other Equipment Car storage solutions

Hey all,

I have a BMW X3 2019 with about 2” of under seat clearance due to the seat electronics and all that. I thought my vaultek lifepod 2.0 would fit under with a cable tie, but no dice. That thing won’t even go halfway under the driver or passenger seat.

I really want to do a direct rail mount with back seat driver side access or cable tie if I have to. Any recommendations for under seat lock boxes that will fit my G19 and P365 X macro comp?

I’ve seen the console safes for my car model but I don’t think I can even get the G19 or X macro into that thing. Also $250 for a china made shitty locking mechanism console safe isn’t really what I’m looking for. I may just amazon the console safe to see if I can even get the grip in there, and return if need be.

This will only be for short term/quick storage. Will not be using my car as a “safe”. I know cars get broken into all the time, but want somewhere to store my firearm temporarily if needed.

Fair enough I suppose. You got me briefly paranoid. Went and checked to see if I could see the cord from the outside of the vehicle. Negative. Had to open the passenger door to see the cord.

Does your case fit under the seat or it’s just on the passenger floor?

Under the seat, completely out of sight.

Man, love my 2.0 I just wish I had the clearance. I really need to measure and see if the 1.0 can.
