    2007~2015 Smart key partially inoperative

    The problem is fixed, it ended up being a failed rear antenna. Cost to repair at my local Mazda dealer was $350 including the diagnostic time.

    2007~2015 Smart key partially inoperative

    New to the forum, my first post. My wife and I recently purchased a used 2009 cx9 grand touring from our local Mazda dealer. With less than 96,000 miles on the odometer, we really liked the vehicle, it had a clean carfax and was in like-new condition. But less than 700 miles and 10 days after...
