The Headrest Safe™ has a universal design that allows it to fit all vehicles. There are three ways to get quick access to The Headrest Safe™. First a biometric reader that uses your individual thumbprint or fingerprint. Second, a 4 to 8 digit passcode. Third, the tried and true method of a key.

BUT, BUT, BUT...
“A chain is no stronger than its weakest link”
That and slow.
Agree.
Love to see any recommendations for car carry...
So, what’s to keep someone from taking the headrest? It’s no more secure than someone leaving a purse in the seat. The only thing it has going for it is hiding in plain sight.
Hidden, ok, but secure? No.
I have single gun safes, that have anchor cables. I loop the cable around the frame of the passenger seat. The safe is hidden under the passenger seat and unless they want to attempt to rip the entire seat out, they are not getting the safe.
Without leaving the drivers seat, I can reach back and open the safe and have access in seconds, without having to look. Guns are store with the chamber locked open, safety on, and a full magazine loaded. With one finger I can then chamber a round and take the safety off.
Can’t wait to see Lockpicking Lawyer break into that in under 10 seconds.
However, you have to find it before you can break into it, so it is an interesting design. I suppose you’d have to buy two so the driver and passenger headrests matched?
And the maker claims that the posts somehow lock into the seat so you can’t just easily steal the entire headrest.
—”Nothing like getting hit by a safe in the back of your head in a collision.”
Would that be a ‘safe collision’?
A totally safe event?
Better than an anvil?
My first thought, the 2nd was how easy it is to lift the entire headrest safe off and steal it.
The maker uses a drywall anchor toggle bolt screwed into the bottom of one of the two posts, so that the headrest cannot be removed from the seat once it has been installed.
Which would make it difficult to steal, but also make it almost impossible to remove from the vehicle, say after you sell your car.

The LPL is a fun source.
Would believe under ten seconds with a twig?

Too slow. A carjacker won’t wait while you f##k around with that contraption. A vinyl covered gun magnet mounted screwed or glued under the dash or anywhere within drivers reach according to your vehicle’s construction is what I use.

A friend had a BMW with a fancy audio system, HAD.
A gorilla took hold under the dash and removed most of the dash with a mighty grunt. It looked as if a fragmentation grenade was poped under the dash.
He lived in Lincoln Park across from the zoo, clearly the work of a gorilla from the zoo.
A common occurrence in Chicago.
A drywall toggle? Willing to bet I could snap that thing off with my hands in less than a minute
Why in the world would you store your pistol with the chamber locked open and safety on?! I carry my Glock 23 on my person with one in the chamber. That’s the only way to carry. If I need to store it in my vehicle because I’m entering a prohibited area I leave it in Condition 1 as I store it.
If I’m on a longer trip or know I’ll be driving into an unsavory area, I’ll wear a shoulder holster...easy to draw from a sitting position.
In a head-on collision, the mass of that thing will take your head right off.
Also, you don’t have quick access when Vernard Toney Jr. sticks his piece in through your driver’s side window.
1. If I am pulled over and have to present it, as I am grabbing it I can release the magazine and present it unloaded.
2. My wife has never been good at chambering the first round. This way it is easy for her to chamber the first round.

In my misspent youth, I was forced to watch a grisly traffic safety movie, to escape a ticket.
It included more than a few flying object decapitation events. Including a bowling ball with a great deal of force.
Not to worry, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration will attempt to sue this vendor into extinction.
Because all guns are dangerous.
My car carry is a P365XL carried apendix, and a Glock 30 in my 511 bag/briefcase plus extra mags for each.
I carry everywhere, every day.
