FOB with tailgate program on CX5 without?

Then how would you access/use it if there is no button?
(uhm) I'm not sure I understand your question,
but it sounds like you want to buy a FOB with a power tailgate button to use on a CX-5 that has a FOB w/o tailgate button ??
what year and model is your CX-5 ?
a FOB w/o tailgate button would mean there's no power liftgate = no motor on liftgate
so just buying a FOB w/ tailgate button would be useless, you'll also need to add power liftgate motor, not very cost effective

I don't think that's the question. Here's how I read it:
I have a Fob with a tailgate button. I want to buy an extra key. Found a deal on a 2015 fob with no tailgate button. Can that be programmed to at least work my car with the buttons it has minus tailgate.

I think @7eregrine is the other way around.
His FOB does not have the gate button and the one he wants to program does.
It is only an extra FOB add to his original.

That's exactly right. I have the 2012 GT AWD. I have the button to unlock it at the rear, should't FOB with tailgate button just act as when I press the button on tailgate?
TO everyone else, sorry for my confusing question.
@SEOR MAZDA that's correct. I have a car with two FOBS with no tailgate button and want to get a FOB with tailgate button and pair it with my car so I can open tailgate from distance and not unlocking the whole car with my actual FOB.

I mean...it kind of isn't. How hard is it to push an unlock button twice?
Now if it was a power lift gate that open/closed...

If the vehicle had 2 stage unlock then yes makes perfect sense. But it doesn't.

Didn't realize there were CX-5's that didn't have 2 stage unlock.
AFAIK no current Mazda has 2 stage unlock

Interesting. (uhm)
Interesting indeed. Unaware if many cars actually have this feature

My 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee did have 2 stage unlock.
My 1997 TJ on the other hand? What's a fob? (rofl)
My 2006 Holden Calais had this for drivers door unlock only then remaining doors. Seems to be a rare feature to have 2 stage unlock
