This is my first post, since I just bought a MS6 GT a few weeks ago. (I bought a Titanium Gray with a sunroof for $25k - couldn't pass up a car like this for that price!)
I really like the keyless feature, but I keep setting off the alarm! I did a search for my particular issue, but didn't see the same specific issue discussed.
When I try closing the windows with the request switch (after getting out of the car) the windows won't close all the way unless I keep holding the botton until they fully close, but then the alarm goes off!?!?! Also, it seems that I need to stay next to the car for 4 or 5 seconds for the car to lock (I've even tried replacing the battery in the keyless card) but sometimes I forget and walk away before it locks. When I return to the car and hit the request button and unknowingly lock the doors(since it didn't lock originally), the alarm sometimes goes off when I try opening the door. Also, my kids constantly set off the alarm, since they do not understand the phrase "wait until I unlock the doors" before they go yanking on the handles.
I also set the alarm off at the car wash the other day, since the car automatically locked and set the alarm. I was just spraying the dirt off the car and "HONK HONK HONK HONK" :swearin: After the 2nd time I finally just opened the door and threw the card on the seat, closed the door and finished washing the car.
The other annoying thing is that when I use the remote card to put the windows down, they stop after only going down a few inches - I can get them all the way down, but I have to repeatedly hold down the unlock button - and sometime that sets the alarm off :swearin:
I had a local mazda dealer enable the automatic lock feature, but now it seems to be more of a PITA than it's worth. I don't have the shock sensor option but it sure seems to act like it! Am I doing something wrong, or am I getting to the age where I just don't understand technology
