Default Hidden Compartment

Do all C7's have that hidden compartment behind the screen or is that only on cars with Nav?

I have a CCW and the hidden compartment is a horrible spot. If you need to use it, needs to be on you. Something as simple as being in reverse locks operation of the door.

Yeah I was thinking more for the times that I can't carry it into the bank etc.


Is it locked out when you're in drive too?

No you can open it when you're driving. It just locks when you're in reverse with the reverse camera on.

Ruger LC9, Springfield XDs, and Sig 938 all fit. Next, I'm going to check if my Sig M11 will fit, as that's my normal carry gun.
