I bought a new 2011 CX-9 Touring on 30 MAR. Had planned to do it a month or two later but the 0% financing offer pulled me in early. Got it with two of the packages, moonroof/Bose and power liftgate/advanced keyless entry. I'm very happy with the vehicle but I've only driven a few hundred miles at this point!
Going through the manual, I've been trying various things. This one keyless entry thing just refuses to work for me. I'm assuming I'm doing something wrong or some option needs to be re-programmed, etc.
The manual clearly says you can open the front windows and the moonroof from outside the car with the advanced key. It says to start with all door closed and windows up. Check. Locked or unlocked. Check. Then to push the unlock button and "within 1.5 seconds, press and hold it again." I do that. It beeps and unlocks when I push it the first time. It beeps again when I press and hold. The little red light on the remote continues to blink as long as I hold the button down. But the windows don't move. The moonroof doesn't move.
The manual further states you can do the same thing with the auxiliary key. So after trying and failing with the remote, I remove that key. Insert and turn and hold.... windows go down, moonroof opens up.
Parking lots in Oklahoma can get ridiculously hot during the summer months. I've always used a key on my VW's to lower all the windows from the outside before I get in. I was happy I was going to be able to do this with the Mazda. But I want to be able to do it with the remote and not by withdrawing the key every time!
I've tried this on two different days just in case I was doing something stupid but it has done the same thing both times! What am I doing wrong?!
Thanks,
Gregg
