No, you are not implying consent to anything other than what you are showing to the officer, the same way that if you pulled an insurance card out of your glove compartment, that would not give the officer the right to rummage through the glove compartment or other paperwork. Showing an officer item or document X does not provide consent for him to look at anything else.
