Default Where would you hide money in a 2015 Q5?

Hi,

Need to find a place in the car to hide some emergency small amount that isn't usually in the way of maintenance people so it won't get taken at the next maintenance pitstop. Any ideas? :-)

Put it inside the maintenance book. They never open it!

It would be easy enough to put a false bottom in the center arm console. Put cash there and no one would ever know.

Just to be safe, I always remove any cash or things of value when the cars go in for any service. Then put them back in when I get the vehicle back.

I'll look in there if it's simple enough for someone unhandy as I am. :-D

That needs a present brain and I lack one. :-)

Glove compartment and lock it. Then remove the metal key from the fob and only hand them the fob part. They don't need the metal key for service and w/o it, they can't get into the glove compartment.
