I just picked up a 2014 CX9 Grand Touring. Love it. I miss my 15 Mazda6 that I traded in though. Great car....
I have a couple questions/issues:
My main problem is that I can't lock the door with the switch on the door. It re-locks right away as if the keyfob is in the center console. I put the fob 30 feet away and it still won't lock with the door switch. I can lock it with the fob or the door handle button no problem. Salesman said it is a safety feature to not lock keys in car. Really dumb. My 15 Mazda6 was not like this. Can it be defeated? It sounds like a proximity sensor is bad, imo.
I tried the lock programming feature as described in the manual to try and make it lock the doors as soon as I shift out of park or any other option 1 thru 6 and that doesn't work either.
Under "settings" on the stereo there is nothing to program the vehicles features like walk away locking, lights, etc. etc. My 15 Mazda 6 Touring had this. Did this start in 2015 or what is the deal? I can't believe it's not on the top of the line CX9. I don't have the Technology Package, but I didn't have it on my 6 Touring either.
