The car doesn't 'wake up' just by having the fob nearby. Some action has to take place for the fob to wake the car up. Either pressing the fob button or any of the action buttons on the car.

Key Suspend Function If a key is left in the vehicle, the functions of the key left in the vehicle are temporarily suspended to prevent theft of the vehicle. To restore the functions, press the unlock button on the functions-suspended key in the vehicle.

Now you've done it! I'm going to have to dig out the owner's manual.

You're right! I didn't think of it this way at all. Kinda gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside. Oh wait, that was me spilling my coffee. ;)

There is something in the owner's manual concerning this very thing. I'm too lazy to get the manual out and look but the above jogged my memory. There's something in there about deactivating the fob if left in the car.

All these folks trying to help and we get nothing back from Gmathison. He posted on 11/16 twice and then left. Why do we bother?

Without a special custom adapter, a flush can't be done on the SkyActive trans. My bet is that the dealership doesn't have said adapter.

Exactly this. FAT32 must be used.

My 2016.5 has the same thing. It does not use the headlamps though as there are dedicated bulbs for this on my car.

They plug into the amp but are these connections actually working as you want them to?

Ok, but what was done to get the car to start? Did the locksmith give you a jump in addition to getting the door open?

You don't know that it's in the car, right? It's nowhere else though, right? Not in the garage or somewhere near the car? It sure sounds like it's in the car from your description and if it's possible that it is, it is. Get you a nice bright flashlight and start looking.

After reading the thread on another MX forum on the recall, I may just skip it as some are suggesting. I NEVER drive without my seatbelt. Specifically post #142 https://forum.miata.net/vb/showthread.php?t=786312&page=6

I'm about due for a new battery, probably next spring. I'm going to test this on my CX while I have the battery out.

Is your CX still parked at the airport? Gotta be running up a nice bill by now if so.

I received my recall notice as well, but I've already put my MX to bed for the winter season. It's not going anywhere so it'll wait till spring.

Sounds to me like it's time to try the bent coat hanger trick. Dunno if it's possible to get one through the door edge or not. Know anyone with a Slim Jim? Dunno if those would work either. It's better than breaking a window though.

I was thinking the same. Perhaps there's some way of connecting cables down there in a way that hooks to the battery and getting the doors open that way? Of course, the other end of the cables connect to a known good battery.

You're thinking that the flash drive is sucking up the amps with the car turned off? I have two Mazdas, an MX and a CX, both 2016's. In each car, I have two flash drives plugged in and they stay plugged in 24/7/365. I have never had a battery issue. In fact, both cars still have the original...
