GM console safe accessory

[brooks]

I installed the console safe from GM and it took 5 minutes. Remove two bolts at bottom of console, drop safe in, reinstall bolts through bottom of safe.

I wanted this so I can store my $700 radar detector when I park somewhere, especially with the roof panels removed.

The only issue I have is the small numbers are hard to read.

Nice! I'm glad they make the install easy. Too bad they don't offer one with a finger print lock.

There is a console on Amazon that has the finger print lock that works with the Hummer EV:

I found this to order the lock by itself so I can keep my safe. https://www.consolevault.com/collections/locks

Just so happens that I had the fingerprint safe from Amazon ordered when I saw this post. I’m happy to report that it works great. I can get into it in less than 3 seconds. There is a hole in the back wall of the safe so the console light can shine into the safe when it is dark. Mounting the safe required 4 screws (provided) through 2 pre drilled holes in the sides instead of the GMC provided 2 screws in the bottom.

Looks good! Thanks for posting feedback on it.

Other details: the small black circle on top of the safe is the fingerprint scanner (it functions very well) it uses 2 AAA batteries to work the unlocking mechanism, there is a hidden key hole hidden underneath the black cover on the lock/unlock knob (2 keys included) in case the batteries fail, and there is a low battery warning light. I feel a fingerprint lock is more secure than a numerical lock when children are around. When I bought it, this safe was about $100 less than the one in the GMC app store.

Quick question..... After the safe install can you still have your plastic organizer tray on top or does the safe fill the complete space ? ..thanks

Still fit

I have the exact same safe.

I put this in last year.

YES. The plastic tray fits and the console lid closes with no interference.

Yes. the tray fits, and I am still using it. It does not QUITE sit flush, but really close enough for me. I bought the Amazon one last week, and installed over the weekend. Easy, fits well.... It is not super high end, but it is a leased vehicle, and this safe was inexpensive and absolutly does what I need it to. Id buy it again knowing what I know now, I am satisfied.
