Can I safely keep this device secured down in the trunk of my car? Any fumes, explosion danger? Anyone know?

No problems. This thing is HEAVY!!! You don't have to tie it down. This can lay flat as well. I'll have to attach some jumper cables to it because no way I can lift it out. I think the guys won't have a problem

i think it is not advisable to put outdoors. the outer built of the device is sturdy and solid, the inner parts will likely to spoil easily. i have 1 that broke down which i also do not understand why. and the battery compartments are loose, i had to place some blu tack to keep the batteries tight.

Interesting question, did not try it but will now, just put it in "my in case of bag" in my car. Thanks.

It would be too strong to leave in your car closed up. You could prob hang it somewhere when you get in. I wouldn't leave it in there.

Depends on how many hours you're talking about. I've left mine in the front of my car for 1-2 hours and my stuff was still cool but I use a thicker gel pack and put it in the center compartment only. The ones it comes with are pretty thin so I wouldn't trust leaving it in a trunk for an extended period of time.

I've got mine mounted on the shiny dashboard plastic on the top of my center console in my Honda Element. It has been holding perfectly since I bought it, even in 90 degree plus weather. I'm not that gentle with it either, frequently yanking the phone out from the jaws rather than unloading the clamp to remove it.

@ Benjamin H.Well. I put mine inside my wife's car. Hid it in the back with the jack where I would have access to it to change out the batteries. They only last about a week, but you don't loose the data. If your covering more spaces of time. I'd erase it after each download. Otherwise it gets monotonous searching through old data. The magnet is pretty strong but I wouldn't put it under the car. At a hundred bucks I'd hate to have lost it. Is picks up the signal pretty good inside the car, maybe under the seat.Hope that helps Good luck. Just remember; you ask questions, you get answers. @ Benjamin H.Well.

I keep mine in my car because I am on the road a lot. I have a different model at home. It falls on the floorboard from the console and gets kicked around a bit by passengers. Made of metal and solid plastic. It is always charged because I set it on the center console when I am parked so the sun can charge it. When heading down the interstate and I see a huge storm cloud I just turn it on to find out what to expect. Great radio.

I would not leave it unprotected. Search Amazon for plastic project box or WaterTight Cord Lock.

You should not plan on leaving it on the car. The vacuum will eventually dissipate and the rack will come loose. It it also subject to theft.

Yes. I love it in my charger. You should have trunk space if not take some items out that you dont need.

I have not received mine yet, but based on the pictures, I would think that a good cut resistant steel cable looped through a vehicle bumper or something similar (two cinder blocks is 80 lbs) with a strong pad-lock would at least deter a would-be thief somewhat. If a thief wants something bad enough they will find a way to get it. (Make sure that your system is listed on your homeowners insurance.) I plan on having a motion activated light & alarm aimed right at my charger as well.

this thing is pretty cheaply made, and anything to do with a childs car I would not advise to alter, for safety reasons. Why you ask? Well, if you installed it for whatever your reasons, then you would rely on it so you could stop the car if there was a need to do so, right? Well what happened if it did not work at that moment, when you really needed it to work? Get the point?

I personally would NOT put any gas storage container in the trunk of a car on a hot day, except for very short periods, of time 10-15 minutes tops, and only for emergency purposes. This is a good can, but the "no spill" feature I think is related more to the transferring of liquid from one container to another, not from one place to another - atleast that's what I use it for.

As with any gasoline storage vessel, carrying it in the trunk really isn't a good idea. Be that as it may, this particular can is very well sealed, and is very sturdy. I believe that other than it being punctured, as in an accident, it should be safe to travel.

It's not.. when you take it off the vent of your car.. it's super simple and easy to move it 360.. but then when its on the car, it's real difficult... You try to move it and it slides off the vent and then your messing around and driving and it's falling all over... That being said.. when you set it up the way you want it and plug it into your vent.. it works great.. great position.. easy to stay on.. I highly recommend it.. it has it's faults sure.. but it's better than most 80% of the other products on the market... I bought 2.. My wife refused to use and bought a different one with an arm on it..that broke a few months later and now she's using her "back up.." the Kenu It's not.. when you take it off the vent of your car.. it's super simple and easy to move it 360.. but then when its on the car, it's real difficult...

Short answer: Not really.Long answer: It's kind of large for most automobiles. If you have a large SUV or are planning on putting it in the trunk, it might fit. More importantly, you would have to mount it by welding or bolting it to the frame of the vehicle. Otherwise, a thief would just take the whole safe and open it at his leisure.
