Chevy Silverado Console Vault Review: Upgraded Security with New Electronic Lock!

hello and welcome to my Channel today I'm going to be talking to you about an in vehicle safe that I picked up for a Chevy Silverado 1500 which actually belongs to a buddy of mine and it's made by console Vault if you look around my channel you've seen that I reviewed a few different console volts started out with mine on my Chevy Colorado then added one to another vehicle of mine then friends of mine started seeing my reviews contacted me asked me for my real opinion with which happens to be the same exact opinion that I put into the videos but you know how friends are and then one by one they have been asking me to install the console volt in their vehicles so for today happens to be a Chevy Silverado 1500 had a few different nuances that I haven't seen before with other console Vault safes that I've installed but I'll go over that little by little throughout this video first off if you're not familiar with console Vault they offer in vehicle safes that to me are second to none they are made specifically for that vehicle that it is intended to be in so it's not some general safe that's one size fits all these safes are made to fit precisely in your vehicle just like it it from the dealership now there are a lot of makes and models that console Vault offers and they're adding more and more on a weekly basis I will have links in the descriptions as well as in the comments field where you could get this information see if there is a console volt specifically for your vehicle and you can get a lot more of the specifics from there so be sure to check that out now the console volt is constructed from heavy gauge steel rolled plate steel welded tabs and Notch seams it has a superior triple guard Locking System and what's cool about this it's the first vehicle that actually came with their new electric lock now I have a video for this specific new lock that is offered by console volt but I'll go a little bit into the detail how to set this up the safes as I'm about to show you easy installation definitely DIY for this specific Silverado it was actually the easiest install that I've done so far all I needed was a Phillips head screwdriver and a flathead screwdriver and that was about it to get this installed took about 10 minutes I have complete faith that you'll be able to do this install on your own the other thing about this specific console vault is the fact that the there are USB ports that were in the way and console Vault address these issues by having extra cables and extended cables and order to extend that USB port keeping it serviceable keeping it in use so you don't lose anything by adding this console volt to your vehicle keep in mind that console Vault offers a lifetime warranty and another great benefit from console vault is that if you are a veteran you do get a discount so once again thumbs up for that thank you console Vault so let's get into the installation proc process now dealing with the new electronic lock this is the option that you opted for as opposed to the elite lock or one of the other options as far as locks I'm going to go over this one this the one that's on a vehicle that's the one that I'm going to install but keep in mind that in other videos that I've done on the console bolt that are linked in the description below I do go over how to configure and install those type of locks from the elite on down so uh once again if you want that information be sure to watch those videos now in order to gain access to inside the console volt it comes locked while it's shipped from here the factory code is just zero on the so you would hit the zero hit okay and just turn your Notch to be able to unlock it now when it comes to changing the code I'm going to go with a four digigit code here so I'm going to use four ones I'm going to go with the default which is zero hit okay and hold the okay down for 2 seconds you heard that click little blue light is on I'm going to go with the new code which is 4 ones for the purpose of this video hit okay and then one more time 4 ones hit okay and blue light is off new combination is now active which is the four ones so from here testing out the new uh Code 4 1es 1 2 3 4 hit okay hear the click and I'm able to lock and that's it that's simple set any combination that you want so as I mentioned earlier there is a USB port in the console itself and when you install the console volt it will block that USB port so the first thing we want to do is there's a trim that goes around the console Vault and you'll see that it's already notched out for the USB adapter that comes with it and first thing you want to do is go ahead and install that two Phillips head screws just unscrew them put them through the hole screw the two screws back in and you're good to go now as you look inside the vehicle you'll see the little plastic piece that actually needs to uh be popped out with a flathead screwdriver there's a little Notch up on top and one on the bottom depress that the little plastic housing with the USB port inside will come out a couple inches now that's going to give you the wiggle room that you need to hook up the USB adapter that is on the console volt trim piece and on the bottom of the console you're going to see four Phillips head screws and you're going to go ahead and remove the two Phillips head screws that are closer to the back of the console from there you're going to drop the console volt in and match up the holes on the console volt with the screw holes that you just removed once that's there you're going to go ahead and take the two Philips head screws that came with the console volt and you're going to go ahead and screw them in suggest to tighten them but don't overtighten them you still want a little bit of wiggle room in order to adjust your console volt before you tighten those screws fully in from there you'll take the console volt trim that has the USB adapter on it you're going to take that tail end of the USB and plug it in to that little adapter that came from the factory inside the console BT tell there's plenty of room on the side so you'll tuck everything away in there keep in mind that also on the trim itself there is some uh 3M double-sided tape and you'll want to remove that in order to have fixed that for the permanent installation now if everything's good to go go ahead in there tighten the Phillips head screws all the way making sure that everything is nice and lined upb cable is plugged in to the factory USB and now you are good to go and now that is pretty much it for the installation so you can tell there's a lot of attention to detail that console volt puts into their safes and it's one of the reasons why I gravitated to their safes as opposed to other options that are in the market as always I appreciate if you like comment also if you decide to buy from console volt I have an affiliate link I have it pinned in the comments field as well as in the description below so if you do purchase I appreciate the support if you go ahead and utilize my affiliate so bottom line if you're in the market for an in vehicle safe that is customade for your vehicle made with attention to detail strongly suggest you take a look at console vault
