Secret vehicle compartment opened by using stock button combination

Hello,

scottiejmurray:
they're not illegal in Australia by the way - which is where I am

Are there places where it is illegal?

building a secret compartment in a car that can be operated by pressing a combination/sequence of -stock- buttons

You may be able to garner the necessary data through a single CANBUS connection.

I noticed that there seems to be a nice hollow section sitting right below the 'coin compartment/handle' in the rear passenger doors.

If possible, the driver's side is a better choice. Side impacts on the driver's side are less likely and less severe. Wouldn't want your goodies to get crushed.
