When I was changing out my radio head unit, I noticed how easy it was to remove the cup holder's. There are a few screws and then that's it. Why doesn't someone make a lockable tray that works on the same principle as the cup holders. You give it a push and it pops out, only inside is room for storage. With a tap into the security system you could require this to be closed just like the trunks before locking up the car. The electrical part should be easy, you could include a key hole or something else to mechanically lock it down.
Personally, I've got my concelled carry permit since I'm in an authorised state. I would love to be able to lock up my pistol and other valuables, but instead I've just given up on carying them when I plan to leave the top down. They won't fit in the mini-storage compartment between the seats and the storage behind the seats isn't secure.

This concept is not a secure place for a handgun. If you plan on getting heated, either stay heated or use the trunk. It's not a perfect spot but it's more secure than a console drawer, IMHO..
