I don't live in Alabama, but Johnathan was the main reason why I decided to pulled the trigger on a 2021 CX5 GTR. I have no complaints and his reviews explaining the car has been on point!! You rock my brother and continue your great work. We all appreciate it big time!! Ant from NYC
Absolutely beautiful. It makes Toyotas and Hondas look amateurish. Is it a Mazda or an Audi? You have to look at the badge to be sure! Good luck with your sales. I appreciate your enthusiasm.
Bought my 2021 CX5 Grand Touring Reserve (and we bought the Navigation chip) a month ago. It’s easier to view your vlogs than read the book. I’m learning more about my car here than I ever thought I would. Thanks.
I just bought a 2021 for my wife for Xmas. She hasn't seen it yet and doesn't know. She's gonna love it! I got that dynamite Red shown in the video with white leather seats. We're retired and she's never had a car like this! 12 days until Christmas.
My local dealer doesn't know this, but although you are half a country away, you sold me on the Mazda CX-5. I've also learned more about the vehicle and even taught my dealer a thing or two that you showed me. I LOVE my CX-5!
Love my 2019 Mazda CX-5. Only complaint is I wish I had turbocharged cuz it's a little slow off the get. But everything is so user-friendly and the vehicle is super durable. This is the third one I've owned. I put on 100,000 miles a year
Great informative video! I’ve had a 2021 CX-5 Signature for a year and a half. Love it! Especially the turbocharged engine, the 360 degree camera, and the ventilated seats. The car has so many features, I’m still learning about stuff it can do. This video taught me a few things I was unaware of. Thanks!
Thank you Jonathan for all your great and informative videos about the CX-5! Thanks to your videos, we are now the very happy owners of new 2021 CX-5 Grand Touring, with the Premium package. Very fun and responsive car to drive.... perfect for our needs!I had a hip replacement surgery two weeks after purchase so, for the time being, my wife is the only one driving it. Can’t wait to get cleared to drive again!
I have a 2020 2.0l, brilliant car. I bought the Mazda satnav SIM on eBay from a reseller for around 20 euros, worked well and recognised by the car as genuine
I love my 2023 Soul Red CX-5 select, still learning the new features from my previous Sport CX-5. The fit & finish is very nice. The Soul Red is beautiful. Thanks for your very informative videos. Loved your sons' comments about the Mazda that you did a video on.
My favorite setting is the lock when driving. I have mine set to lock when going into drive and unlock when going into park. You pull up to drop someone off and the regular passengers expect to hear the unlock, they aren’t tempted to get out before you are ready.
This is a Jonathan top 10 video. There were a couple I didn’t know. The best was the way to get to old fashioned cruise control. While I can’t imagine why anyone would want it, I have been asked how to do it several times. I have to see if works like that on my Mazda3.
I'm into my third CX-5. I love it. Fully loaded with all of the goodies. Dayuum is it quick! All of the things that you have mentioned was never conveyed to me by the dealer. Thanks for an eye opener!
Im based in the UK but your videos of the CX5 is what prompted me to order one yesterday! A nice Soul Crystal Red with White leather interior and all options! I think its equivalent to the US Signature model. Exciting times ahead!
I'm guessing you are loving the CX-5, one thing no one has mentioned is how engaging they are to drive. It's got a sport feel that the competition lacks. Test drove a bunch of different makes, including a BMW X3 and Subaru Forester. I expected more fun than the Subaru but the Beemer? Mazda won that one. Anyway happy motoring!
My Name is Jonathan Jewell, we are one letter off and WOW that this video came up I'm actually giving serious consideration of buying a new CX-5, and never ever considered a Mazda before. I'll take this as a good sign.
That was awesome information! I work for Toyota and this still is my favorite vehicle. In spite of the generous employee discount that we receive this is still my next vehicle of choice.
I already own a 2021 CX-5 GT and yet watch all your videos. I guess they continue to confirm I bought the right vehicle. Love your videos and your intro can’t be beat. 👍 You have a fan in the Twin Cities!
And this video is so helpful since I want my next car to be this!! Please make more CX 5 news and videos please!! Especially about the awaited facelift for the CX 5 🤩
Had a 2021 CX5 as a rental, early July 2021. One unnerving & potentially dangerous quirk was the COAST feature on cruise control. After driving many cars equipped with cruise control over many years, this is the first I encountered that if you hold down the COAST button continuously more than a couple seconds, the vehicle actually applies the brakes & quickly slows down by 10-20 or more(!) mph. Instead of normally killing the throttle to coast, slowing gradually you risk getting rear-ended. I didn't use the cruise very much on that trip!
My wife purchased the 2022 CX-5 Signature about 2 weeks ago in that beautiful red color. We are still working on the learning curve and enjoying this ride. Thank you for the information and demonstration Jonathan. Greetings from the Sooner State……🏈
@@JSS Thanks Jonathan. I tried to close mine manually after opening electronically (to the pre-set height we programmed in) and it moved easily downwards at first but it began to give me a lot of resistance when it got within a few feet of being closed so I stopped out of fear of damaging something. Also, it the power liftgate system were out and the gate was closed (but not locked), I am not sure if it could even be unlatched to manually move it up. There is still a latch to keep it from opening even when unlocked. When opening a non- electric powered lift gate, the first thing that happens when you push in the button is mechanical unlatching. I am not sure this electric system allows for manual unlatching even if it allows for manual lifting/lowering once the gate is open.
Just came across this video and it is very informative. I have the 2021 CX-5, Signature model in the awesome red and love it. I’ve subscribed and look forward to more of your videos.
Big fan here from up in Prince Edward Island, Canada. Was at my local dealer this morning and he had two 2021.5 Signatures on the lot. Small price increase ($600 Cdn), but we finally get the 10.25” screen and newer software that you guys have had for a while. Looks like we lost the wireless Apple CarPlay connectivity with this upgrade, but I can’t wait to go visit the dealer when they’re open and take a look at this new screen! Mazda Canada put out a press release about a month ago, where they announced the new screen, and also mentioned that coming in the fall would be the Mazda Connected Services, which would allow remote starting, among other things, from an app for the CX-5 and CX-9. Good times ahead!
Thank you so much for the video! I got a 2021 Mazda cx5. I'm wondering how do I open the trunk from inside the vehicle. For now I always have to get out off the car to open it for groceries curbside pick or people not familiar with my car... Thank you
Grat video, couple of things I didn't know since buying my 2021 CX-5 Touring back in May. I knew the was some sort of radar, didn't know about the emblem, and the grill shutters blew my mind!
I just leased a 21’ CX-5 GT w Performance Pack in snowflake white pearl, 1 week ago. I like it pretty well except the brakes are soft, no dead pedal cover, No backlit turn/wiper stalks, and the seats hurt my butt after half hour drive. It’s a smooth refined vehicle tho. The dealer was charging MSRP on all of their vehicles due to limited inventory (chip shortage). I’m in Oklahoma City
@@RobertBeedle I gave my 2021 CX-5 its first oil change at 800 miles, and its 2nd oil change at 2,000 miles. It might get its 3rd oil change at 3500 miles. It has 3100 miles right now, on 6/5/2023.
Such GREAT INFORMATION We purchased new '23 CX 5 last week, the dealer had little time to go over features. Not being tech savey we immedieatly became flustered. The Owners manual is huge and terrible IMO and the illustrations are tiny. Your video eventhough being a couple years older was very helpful. If I can only determine if we have the "A" or "B" dashboard to help us get started. This was our first video, we hope to find more YT CZ 5 instructionals. 👍 Thank You!!!
When I’m driving down a two lane road and I get too close to the center line or shoulder line, the steering wheel turns slightly in the opposite direction. That’s pretty standard. But what else happens is my radio will play from the right speaker if I get too close to center lane, and from the left speaker if I get too close to the shoulder line. It’s only for a couple of seconds and acts like a subtle cue to correct your steering.
Great video! Got a Carbon Turbo Edition and turning off the Radar Cruise Control is a huge tip. Those radar cruises are frustrating and sometimes dangerous
I have a 2021 CX-5 Grand Touring but can’t figure out how or if it has the remote start? Although; it’s said the all should have it after 2020 the 2019 has it.
Just got a 2023 Mazda CX-5 Signature model. I am finding your tips helpful. Re the Bose sound settings, on my car, the center point was already on 3. Unless someone at the dealership changed it before I got there, that must be the new default setting.
Wife made me test drive a 2020 cx5. First thing I noticed was how quiet it is. Bought it. 7k miles and all good. The predicted arrival of the in-line six cylinder in 2022 has my vote. Although the 4 cylinder is impressive after a recent trip to Santa Fe. Found myself at 88 mph because it was so smooth. Even in a 30 mph crosswind on I-40. Only strange feature is the gas pedal pivots (hinges) at the floor like my old 65 Impala. But it is a car that I will recommend. note: warranty is only 36k/3 years.
Absolutely informative video.Thanks and much appreciated your job. My Mazda CX-5 2021 Grand Touring GT Premium plus does not show the reverse assist line. Is there any setting there to make that work and also a 360 degree camera as well.
Thanks for the info. I have a mazda cx 5 2021.5. Different dash, probably because of Canadian market. First time ever of owning a mazda. I like it for many reasons but I hate the temperature controls. It is either too hot or cold .very frustrating to adjust even on long trips. Seems as the air is poorly distributed. The radio controls should have a seek option. Again very frustrating 😑. It's a nice car that has great features but improvements will be needed before we purchase another one.
Thank you I just purchased my cx5 Milwaukee,, you really helped me learn stuff !!! Need to install a SD do u have a video on how tooo?? What about seat protection in Parchment
I don’t have a video on SD install. It’s fairly simple. Insert, then turn on vehicle. It will match with car at that point. I’m working on a Parchment cleaning video…just have to get mine dirty first 😂
On our second one of these. Only thing I hate is the rear seat heat control being in the seat divider. Firstly you hit ot with your elbow turning it either on, up or off. Secondly if you have a third person in the back you can't access it at all😅.
I hope Mazda would include the Tire Display Reading for All 4 tires on the Dashboard on the Next Generation CX-5 and CX-9. Right now it is still manually checked.
Oh no. Press music, favorites, and on/off/volume knob and hold. Hold until you see diagnostic screen. While holding, the screen will go black and then a diagnostic screen. From that menu you should be able to restore or reset.
Do you think Mazda will fix the satellite radio steering wheel control issue with a software upgrade ? You can’t scroll channels on satellite radio through the steering wheel buttons. It works with regular radio just not satellite radio.
Just bought the wife a 2022 Carbon Edition. We’re loving it. The damn thing is just so nice. She had an Acura prior to this. I’m very impressed with what you get for the money with these Mazda’s
My 2019 CX-5 Grand Touring Reserve only lacks the 360 degree camera and paddle shifters of this 2021 CX-5 Signature - well, those and the dark chocolate Nappa leather seats. The top two CX-5 models are EXTREMELY well equipped with safety and convenience features costing many thousands of dollars more on "upscale" compact SUVs. I've done many upgrades to my CX-5 GT Reserve: ->K&N drop-in air filter, ->Cork Sport oil catch can, ->CS improved turbo downpipes, ->two gas hood struts, ->MANY interior upgrades like lighted door sill panels to name just one.
I got a Cork Sport oil catch can (be sure to get one to keep intake valves clean) and a Cork Sport turbo down tube (much better throttle response) MAZDA roof racks and lighted door sill plates and retracting trunk cover ALI EXPRESS for hood struts and all interior trim.But they have nice exterior trim as well. You wait over a month for delivery but everything is good quality and really inexpensive.
We have a 2014 CX5 Grand Touring we bought new. In 2014 I was amazed that a “factory” remote engine start key fob was not available on any mazda. We got the dealer remote start installed and not only was it extremely complicated, it worked about 3 months. After one unsuccessful attempt to have dealer repair it we gave up and it hasn’t been used since. Also ridiculous to have two fobs on keyring. So now we are in process of attempting to get a new suv to replace CX5. Has been a good car after 8 years. To my amazement though still can’t get a remote start factory keyfob on any new model CX5! Remote start key fobs are practically standard equipment on most new cars now. Yes it now has the Mazda connect that means can start engine with cell phone, but that’s not the same. I also have a 2021 Ford F150 with ability to start engine on my IPhone. But it’s not practical for everyday use. Have to get phone out and start app and there is about a 20 second delay. Does not take place of a quick remote start key fob. Just shocked that Mazda is so behind on something so simple and basic now days. It’s keeping us from buying another Mazda.
My 2021 signature didn’t come with an SD Nav Card. Dealer in Oregon won’t give me one. I called Mazda and they said it doesn’t come with one even if the window sticker says it comes with navigation not that it “supports navigation”
what about the front dash cigar lighter. I tried to use it to charge iphone. FAIL and left car sitting for 2 months with a solar charger only to return to a dead battery. The solar charger worked perfectly on my old car. But not on the 2020 Mazda CX5 What DOES the front dash cigar port do?
I notice there's a button on the right of the rear tailgate release. My Subaru Forester it's used as a 5 digit pin code so for example if you want to go kayaking and leave your keys in your car you can do that. At the dealer on the 2022, I saw the same button (probably the same Subaru uses on their car (both made in Japan). Does it have pin code access?
Hi, does this have a tire pressure monitor? Can it show you what tire is low? Can't seem to find anything on that. As well is there a way to turn off the loud annoying beep sound when you open and close the trunk? Thanks.
Does the CX5 Premium trim have an automatic side mirror folding? I have very tight parking space at work and at my condo and would love to activate the autimomatic side mirror folding. Please advise.👍🏻
How do I get my power lift gate to open when the car is on? I can’t get it yet..I had to turn off the car. I have only had the cx5 for a week. 2020 version
Hi! I just purchased a 20' cx5 touring. I have an android & can not get calls that come in, I can only make calls out. What's the trick or setting to receive calls though the Bluetooth?
I had no ideaI could "STOP" the radar ACC function!!! I had a Mazda 6 and sometimes that distance sensor drove me bonkers. It's a fabulous safety feature, but annoying at times. I had no idea. 😮 Still not paying $500 for the navigation SD card though. That's ridiculous
Great video as always. Informative even for veteran Mazda owners. One feature that’s rarely mentioned that I use often on my CX-9 is the rear request switch. I think I spied it on the CX-5’s hatch in the video. This might only be for the Advanced Keyless Entry ....To the right of the outside lift gate open button (just above the license plate), is a third request switch in addition to each front door handle. You can tap it to lock the car and engage the security system. Handy after the entire family gets out. We always seem to gather behind the car before waking into a store. I can tap the rear request switch to lock the car rather than pull out the fob or walking to a front door.
@@stacywebb7087 It will only LOCK the car. It can’t be used to open the doors. After all the doors and liftgate are closed, the person with the key fob should be near the rear liftgate, press the button and it should work. If it doesn’t, maybe all models use the trim panel but not all of them actually have the feature? I would think if you have request buttons in the front door handles for Advanced Keyless Entry, it should work.
Thank You that was very informative. i did not realize the hatch height was adjustable. Iam still learning all the features. i just ordered a nav sd card. i hope its as simple as it sounds to install myself. i may need to contact you. 2020 CX 5 GTR
No.1 my Accord Honda Sensing has the same issue of being disabled by slurry snow. Why can’t car makers install a branch nozzle facing against this radar from windshield fluid line?? It could have been easily resolved.
Hi my daughter just bought a cx5 ..we’re trying to figured out to open the lift gate from the inside . And it doesn’t show any button labeled for the lift gate ..
Thank you for the video why does my master switch between Bluetooth and Apple CarPlay it’s very unpleasant it switches back-and-forth it makes me crazy how

I own a 2016 CX-5 and am still discovering more features built into this great car.
Absolutely beautiful. It makes Toyotas and Hondas look amateurish. Is it a Mazda or an Audi? You have to look at the badge to be sure! Good luck with your sales. I appreciate your enthusiasm.
Thank you for sharing!
Mazda cars are stunning, specially compared to their competitors.
Not even close to Audi, but much better..
I wanted a Crv but it was too expensive

Wow, 100,000 a year? That's a pretty good indorsement! Good to know.

Thank you Tim.
Thanks. I've had my 2021 CX9 for a few months and still learning stuff. Live in TN now but used to live in Enterprise.
If the power lift gate system ever failed, how could the lift gate be opened and closed?
The actuators move manually also.

The cruise is definitely not set it and forget it. How to pay attention to sudden accelerations or stops.
Thank you very quik referance for us guys i appreciate it .
You’re Welcome!
I have a 2021 CX-5 Grand Touring but can’t figure out how or if it has the remote start? Although; it’s said the all should have it after 2020 the 2019 has it.
My daughter has a 2020 CX5 and I’m very surprised it doesn’t have a simple garage door opening feature to pair with our opener.
Just got a 2023 Mazda CX-5 Signature model. I am finding your tips helpful. Re the Bose sound settings, on my car, the center point was already on 3. Unless someone at the dealership changed it before I got there, that must be the new default setting.
Great video! I own a CX-5 and it's a really great vehicle. Stylish, quiet, comfortable and reliable. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Wife made me test drive a 2020 cx5. First thing I noticed was
how quiet it is. Bought it. 7k miles and all good.
The predicted arrival of the in-line six cylinder in 2022 has my vote.
Although the 4 cylinder is impressive after a recent trip to Santa Fe.
Found myself at 88 mph because it was so smooth. Even in
a 30 mph crosswind on I-40.
Only strange feature is the gas pedal pivots (hinges) at the floor
like my old 65 Impala. But it is a car that I will recommend.
note: warranty is only 36k/3 years.
@@jimbosammy4255 Congratulations! Happy for you!! Zoom Zoom
Absolutely informative video.Thanks and much appreciated your job.
My Mazda CX-5 2021 Grand Touring GT Premium plus does not show the reverse assist line.
Is there any setting there to make that work and also a 360 degree camera as well.
Thanks for the info. I have a mazda cx 5 2021.5. Different dash, probably because of Canadian market. First time ever of owning a mazda. I like it for many reasons but I hate the temperature controls. It is either too hot or cold .very frustrating to adjust even on long trips. Seems as the air is poorly distributed. The radio controls should have a seek option. Again very frustrating 😑. It's a nice car that has great features but improvements will be needed before we purchase another one.
Thank you I just purchased my cx5 Milwaukee,, you really helped me learn stuff !!! Need to install a SD do u have a video on how tooo?? What about seat protection in Parchment
I don’t have a video on SD install. It’s fairly simple. Insert, then turn on vehicle. It will match with car at that point. I’m working on a Parchment cleaning video…just have to get mine dirty first 😂
Great suv CX5 2021 for Boston, Miami and Colombia… cool video …. U own me test drive dude..
On our second one of these. Only thing I hate is the rear seat heat control being in the seat divider. Firstly you hit ot with your elbow turning it either on, up or off. Secondly if you have a third person in the back you can't access it at all😅.
I hope Mazda would include the Tire Display Reading for All 4 tires on the Dashboard on the Next Generation CX-5 and CX-9. Right now it is still manually checked.
I think they will. Small changes are greatly appreciated.
Jonathan I need to reset the Infotainment screen my car play stopped working
Oh no. Press music, favorites, and on/off/volume knob and hold. Hold until you see diagnostic screen. While holding, the screen will go black and then a diagnostic screen.
From that menu you should be able to restore or reset.
Do you think Mazda will fix the satellite radio steering wheel control issue with a software upgrade ? You can’t scroll channels on satellite radio through the steering wheel buttons. It works with regular radio just not satellite radio.
Just bought the wife a 2022 Carbon Edition. We’re loving it. The damn thing is just so nice. She had an Acura prior to this. I’m very impressed with what you get for the money with these Mazda’s
Congratulations! Thank you for sharing!
My 2019 CX-5 Grand Touring Reserve only lacks the 360 degree camera and paddle shifters of this 2021 CX-5 Signature - well, those and the dark chocolate Nappa leather seats. The top two CX-5 models are EXTREMELY well equipped with safety and convenience features costing many thousands of dollars more on "upscale" compact SUVs.
I've done many upgrades to my CX-5 GT Reserve: ->K&N drop-in air filter, ->Cork Sport oil catch can, ->CS improved turbo downpipes, ->two gas hood struts, ->MANY interior upgrades like lighted door sill panels to name just one.
Hi Eric, I am loving my mazda cx-5 2021 i think I am pretty much ready for such upgrades as well. Where did you get 'em? thanks
I got a Cork Sport oil catch can (be sure to get one to keep intake valves clean) and a Cork Sport turbo down tube (much better throttle response)
MAZDA roof racks and lighted door sill plates and retracting trunk cover
ALI EXPRESS for hood struts and all interior trim.But they have nice exterior trim as well. You wait over a month for delivery but everything is good quality and really inexpensive.
Can you please confirm that you can’t pair the vehicle to garage door opener without Homelink feature?? Hard to believe
Is there a general CX 5 video manual? Like this video, but almost every feature in the Mazda CX-5?
I am not aware of one, but will look. Is there a specific area of features you would like more info on?
We have a 2014 CX5 Grand Touring we bought new. In 2014 I was amazed that a “factory” remote engine start key fob was not available on any mazda. We got the dealer remote start installed and not only was it extremely complicated, it worked about 3 months. After one unsuccessful attempt to have dealer repair it we gave up and it hasn’t been used since. Also ridiculous to have two fobs on keyring. So now we are in process of attempting to get a new suv to replace CX5. Has been a good car after 8 years. To my amazement though still can’t get a remote start factory keyfob on any new model CX5! Remote start key fobs are practically standard equipment on most new cars now. Yes it now has the Mazda connect that means can start engine with cell phone, but that’s not the same. I also have a 2021 Ford F150 with ability to start engine on my IPhone. But it’s not practical for everyday use. Have to get phone out and start app and there is about a 20 second delay. Does not take place of a quick remote start key fob. Just shocked that Mazda is so behind on something so simple and basic now days. It’s keeping us from buying another Mazda.
My 2021 signature didn’t come with an SD Nav Card. Dealer in Oregon won’t give me one. I called Mazda and they said it doesn’t come with one even if the window sticker says it comes with navigation not that it “supports navigation”
I have a question, can you leave your usb cord plugged in all the time without draining the battery if you do not have anything plugged in? TIA
I just bought one today, what is the hold button on the remote
what about the front dash cigar lighter. I tried to use it to charge iphone. FAIL and left car sitting for 2 months with a solar charger only to return to a dead battery. The solar charger worked perfectly on my old car. But not on the 2020 Mazda CX5 What DOES the front dash cigar port do?
Maybe a fuse is out? 🤷🏻♂️ it works fine for me as long as the car is on.
Morning due can also can disable i-activsense
I really would like to hear what model does or doesn't have.
I notice there's a button on the right of the rear tailgate release. My Subaru Forester it's used as a 5 digit pin code so for example if you want to go kayaking and leave your keys in your car you can do that. At the dealer on the 2022, I saw the same button (probably the same Subaru uses on their car (both made in Japan). Does it have pin code access?
Hi, does this have a tire pressure monitor? Can it show you what tire is low? Can't seem to find anything on that. As well is there a way to turn off the loud annoying beep sound when you open and close the trunk? Thanks.
Does the CX5 Premium trim have an automatic side mirror folding? I have very tight parking space at work and at my condo and would love to activate the autimomatic side mirror folding. Please advise.👍🏻
The power folding option is included with Premium Plus and above.
How do you get rid of the radio station you put in your favorites
How do I get my power lift gate to open when the car is on? I can’t get it yet..I had to turn off the car. I have only had the cx5 for a week. 2020 version
There should be a button on the left of the steering wheel.
You have to unlock doors before pushing button when engine is running. I couldn't figure it out at first either.
@@jerimilford yes that’s what I did a day after this video haha.
Thanks Jonathan for the cool and helpful video. I have had the GTR for 2 months now and already racked up 4000 miles on it.
You're Welcome! The GTR is so awesome! It's easy to rack up miles.
I've had my 2021 CX-5 Carbon Edition Turbo w/ AWD for 8 months, and I only have 1160 miles on it.
I’ve got one, here in Norway, top class car
Awesome! It is an amazing car!
Hi! I just purchased a 20' cx5 touring. I have an android & can not get calls that come in, I can only make calls out. What's the trick or setting to receive calls though the Bluetooth?
The greatest vehicle ever made.
Did Mazda remove red light traffic warning for 2021 MY? My wife's 2019 was equipped, but my son's 2021 MY appears not to be equipped!
Nice Video Jonathan.
Thank you
Would be nice to go over programing by key fob, eg driver 1 and driver2
Is it possible to increase the volume when reversing
I had no ideaI could "STOP" the radar ACC function!!! I had a Mazda 6 and sometimes that distance sensor drove me bonkers. It's a fabulous safety feature, but annoying at times. I had no idea. 😮
Still not paying $500 for the navigation SD card though. That's ridiculous
Great video as always. Informative even for veteran Mazda owners.
One feature that’s rarely mentioned that I use often on my CX-9 is the rear request switch. I think I spied it on the CX-5’s hatch in the video. This might only be for the Advanced Keyless Entry ....To the right of the outside lift gate open button (just above the license plate), is a third request switch in addition to each front door handle. You can tap it to lock the car and engage the security system. Handy after the entire family gets out. We always seem to gather behind the car before waking into a store. I can tap the rear request switch to lock the car rather than pull out the fob or walking to a front door.
Thanks for mentioning this feature. I have tried countless # of times to use mine and I cannot get it to work. Any tips?
@@stacywebb7087 It will only LOCK the car. It can’t be used to open the doors. After all the doors and liftgate are closed, the person with the key fob should be near the rear liftgate, press the button and it should work. If it doesn’t, maybe all models use the trim panel but not all of them actually have the feature? I would think if you have request buttons in the front door handles for Advanced Keyless Entry, it should work.
Thanks. I was wondering what that button was for.
Thank You that was very informative. i did not realize the hatch height was adjustable. Iam still learning all the features. i just ordered a nav sd card. i hope its as simple as it sounds to install myself. i may need to contact you. 2020 CX 5 GTR
No.1 my Accord Honda Sensing has the same issue of being disabled by slurry snow.
Why can’t car makers install a branch nozzle facing against this radar from windshield fluid line?? It could have been easily resolved.
Some brands do it for headlights, that fix would be very similar.
@@JSS If they can do heated windshield wipers... (and they do). Well, if they did everything, there'd be no way to improve next year.
Can you open the windows with your remote? I could with my old Mazda6, but not the new Cx5? I missed this feature during hot summer days....
Hi my daughter just bought a cx5 ..we’re trying to figured out to open the lift gate from the inside .
And it doesn’t show any button labeled for the lift gate ..
Hey Jonathan, is it possible to show the current speed in digital letters?
Thank you for the video why does my master switch between Bluetooth and Apple CarPlay it’s very unpleasant it switches back-and-forth it makes me crazy how
