Agree, I've never seen a guy with a phone in his back pocket.

I pointed out the fact that it's a simple 3V DC coin battery. A car battery is obviously a different story. For 99% of the people on this forum, a simple volt meter will suffice when measuring the fob battery. Then again, what's even the point when they're so cheap?

Is something wrong with the key inside the fob? I've only used ours once, just to make sure it worked.

As a working EE for over 30 years, I've learned to have a thick skin when it comes to things like this. If you and the other person truly believe a load test on a 3v DC coin battery is necessary to determine whether or not it's good, I really don't know what to tell you. :)

I'm an EE, so thanks...

Yes, 10 megaohm. We're measuring voltage, not current. My multimeter, used in the voltmeter setting, is correctly reading the battery's voltage.

I'm not sure what apparatus you're using to measure 3V DC coin cell batteries, but my Fluke multimeter with its 10 mOhm input impedance has no issue.

I don't know, maybe it's time to ditch the skinny jeans. :) Our 2019 fob. which is smaller than the newer ones, is tiny in comparison to my Ranger fob. That one appears to be larger than the '21 CX-5 fob and I rarely even notice that they're both in my pocket.

For me, it was all the above, except we don't drive enough to worry about MPG's and have not had a need to take it off-roading. It is great in the snow, if that counts. :)

Back in the 1960's, anything out of Japan was considered cheap junk. It took awhile to change that perception, too.

Based on my personal experience, and what is mentioned in many reviews, I believe the above is correct.

I had a 2013 ES 350 UL. Sport mode does tighten the steering wheel movement. I think the dash turning red in Sport mode was about as beneficial, as far as fun driving goes. :) The CX-5 Sig is far more enjoyable to drive. That's one of the reasons I sold it to Carvana when they were offering me...

Don't use Amazon as a fitment guide. They're wrong more than right.

OP, sounds like you bought the wrong vehicle for your needs. Life's too short to drive something you don't like. It's just too bad you had to buy it to figure it out.

So, they went back to them? My 2019 has a 2025, which I replaced with a 2032 two years ago and it's still going strong.

Here's a LINK which is crowd sourced. Not sure how accurate it is, but better than nothing.

I stick with my theory based on the first 5 words that they began the statement with. :)

I read that as "don't use any additives". They can cause more harm than good. Just buy quality gas and forget about it.

Here's the 2023 spec, which shows 87 is still recommended:
