Edit: Hey everyone - I've been getting reports in the comments that some of these tips may or may not work on certain models and in certain regions. I should have done better research! Please feel free to rip me apart in the comments and let me know if these do or don't work on your car! It was not my intention to mislead anyone. Also...I faffed up and accidentally shot this video in 720p. I won't let that happen again lol..I'll make sure to provide 4K video from now on! If I missed anything or made a mistake, please leave a comment below!

Oh and while I'm on the subject of things my '21 CX-5 does NOT have.....not only can I NOT open the windows as you showed, I'll bet you can't do what my 2007 Lexus ES350 can....which is......Say all the windows are wide open, and it starts to rain....so you run outside and what? Go in the car, turn on the ignition, one-by-one close the windows? Nope...Just press the button on ANY one of the 4 door handles, and hold it for a few seconds.....ALL the windows close, including the sunroof.

With memory seats (that includes the mirrors and HUD settings), you can also program each key fob to its own setting as well. Same procedure, just press the fob unlock button instead of the 1 or 2 memory button.

I love the tilt side mirror feature. Nice to be able to see the curb when parking to avoid scratching the rims. I wasn’t aware of the feature that allows you to roll the windows down from the fob. That’s pretty cool! I’ll have to try it out. Funny, I was going to search how to deactivate the fob I’m not currently using to save the battery. Thanks for the tips! Stay warm! ✌🏻👍🏻✌🏻

I don't believe that's possible. If you have both key fobs on you, and you leave one in the car, you can still lock it from the outside, but it'll beep at you to let you know, "hey, your OTHER key fob is in the car" lol. Otherwise, if you only have one key fob with you, the car will NOT let you lock it inside the car.

This is to be expected. The CX5 rides on Mazda's older platform, similar to the CX9 and Mazda6. They likely don't have many of these niche features. The newer stuff is only found on newer models, notably CX-30, CX-50, Mazda3s and CX-90 and further on.

@@mikescardiaries For the record, I DID now try the "button on the shifter" (automatic) to see if it would stay in access mode, and it does. One thing you did not mention is the "proximity" unlock door handles. My 2007 Lexus ES350 had them on all four doors.....fast forward to 2021, and the best Mazda could do is give me a button to press on the door handle. I "heard" the newer (than '21's) have the proximity thing. If what that is is not clear, it means if the door is locked, you do NOTHING except bring your hand to, and through the handle....and the mere act of being that close to the handle triggers the unlock. Do you have that?
