Console Vault

How much storage space do you lose? Thinking about longer items like flashlight/attention-correction stick.....

You don't lose much storage space at all. Basically the width of the steel since it fits very snug in the console. It obviously stops a little shorter height-wise for the lid to clear the tissue holder on the factory lid, but not enought to make that much of a difference.

Did you get the version with the key or the combo? Impressions?

I got the 3-digit combo. They have an optional 4-digit as well. I did not feel the extra money for a 4-digit combo was worth while and I don't like the idea of keeping track of another key. I am happy with the basic 3-digit combo.

This looks like it still allows access to the electrical plug. Is this correct? thx

Yes, you still have access to the plug inside. The mini change holder is kind of un-usable since the side slot is blocked, but I did not use that anyway.
 
I agree with all points made on the above post. I also went with the 3 digit combo lock. A note on the turn dial/lock, I was surprised how tight and smooth the lock mechanism is, it looks like it could be loose and cheap from the photos but it is not all all. I was surprised how tight, smooth turning, and well made it was. Again over all this is a great mode and very well made product, IMHO.
 
Anyone have a picture of the access to the electrical plug with the vault installed? It looks like there is a cover over it. Does that cover just snap on and off?

I don't remember where I saw the picture, but I think I recall it just being a square cut out that allows the factory 120v socket to peek out of :)
 
Here is a pic I posted last year of mine. I would get a better one for you, but my wife is driving the Runner right now. Anyway, in this pic you can see half of the cutout for the power outlet. It is just a square cutout, therefore allowing full access to the outlet just like it is when the console vault is not installed. The flap that is covering the power outlet from the factory has full range of motion.

I see how that works now. Thanks for the clarification.
 
Pretty awesome addition. Since the change holder is basically covered has anyone thought about drilling it out enough to drop the skinny end of a flashlight in there leaving the top of the light sticking up enough to easily access? Just throwing an idea out there and someone can try it or come up with something close.
 
Just installed mine. If you can call tightening two bolts installing. Nice product. Fits perfectly.
