Guys, this is going no where fast-not because of the OP's question, but because of your smart ass answers. It's uncalled for....

Either legit replies or we're finished here.

Normally lock the trunk switch and in the trunk.. If not.. Probably the compartment for the armrest area.

Or on the side of the drivers door where you put your sunglasses.

I have a "friend" who made a compartment under..... sh*t what do you call it? you know when you open the door, there are those acura "panels" next to the seats, they are really easy to scratch up, well my "friend" made them easily removable, and made a compartment under each one. I know it doesn't come standard on the TL, but there's really no secret compartments.

Try the center console speaker It's wat i use and it slides up with a butter knife (i use my pocket knife) and has plenty of room. here's a link so u can see pic's of it.

https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...rattle+speaker

This link has nothing to do with hiding but to fix the rattle's but shows u wat i'm talking about. works perfect for me!

only bring what you can eat
or build a beauty panel over a sub box then you have access through the fold down armrest cover the plastic piece with the leather cover cops er people will not even know that it folds down just hope they dont rip your panel off and break it. or just keep whatever you have at home where it belongs

Normally do.. ( only bring what I can eat ) but at certain times I try to get enough to last me a few months and need to know this for those rare occasions...

My Secret stash spot in my TL is in the back up wheel inside the trunk.

It works even better if you have a Trunk tray.

I basically take out the cargo net that is stowed inside one of the wheel's compartments. Pretty fool proof spot unless there's probable cause to search underneath your trunk lining.

As someone who is tasked in finding the things that you are attempting to hide in some of the places that you are attepting to hide them, I'll tell you this...the K9 is pretty good, even in the sunroof, the trunk, etc.

Pretty much any place out of the ordinary (glove boxes, arm rests, center consoles, under seats) will work just fine if you got pulled over. Unless there's some suspicion and the search is for something big, then the officer isn't going to go to the lengths of prying up speakers, kick plates, tunk trays, etc.
