In practical terms (which sometimes has very little to do with the law) it wouldn't make sense to have a lock which requires your ignition key or another key to open. A center console gun behind a latched door (or alternatively a latched glove box is I believe legal in my state.

if the firearm or other weapon is securely encased or is otherwise not readily accessible for immediate use....

"Securely encased" means in a glove compartment, whether or not locked; snapped in a holster; in a gun case, whether or not locked; in a zippered gun case; or in a closed box or container which requires a lid or cover to be opened for access
