What They Don't Want You To Know! - NEW MAZDA HIDDEN FEATURES! 

Now that's premium

That's not a "hidden feature"

Why does my 2019 Mazda 3 connect to the my Mazda app while my 2020 cx-9 won't? I know the screen on the 2020 cx-9 is the "older" version while my 2019 Mazda 3 has the non touch screen elongated version...but the newer car can't connect? Strange

That’s so cool - I’m going to have to see if there are any hidden features in my 2013 CX-5

@@LisaLisa-mx3hq it was hidden to me!

Mazda owners manual is TERRIBLE

Exactly, what really burns me up is there are things in mine (2024 model) that I don't even have access to and they don't specify trim.

@@ogopogo1397 I've seen worse

S. Can't like the comment. 🫡

You are so lucky, u just missed Robbie’s 1 year pause!

Yea, true cause most salesmen can't do their own job well. They are the greatest bullsh*ters lol.

@@whereswaldo9089 highly uncalled for.. I’m sorry if you have been burnt by dealerships in the past but I agree there are a lot of corrupt dealerships its straight up wrong.

@Semiwithacarrot never have been i dont even bother if it's anything above 2.9%, but I always hear all the horror stories with the salesman

@@whereswaldo9089 oh for sure personally I love my job I got lucky with dealership its super chill! In our area were the only place who never marked up cars during all that bs

@@whereswaldo9089I just bought a CX-50 yesterday and the salesman was really cool. Up front with pricing. Everyone at the Mazda dealership I went to were really cool people. Got good vibes from everyone

My mirrors on my 2019 CX-5 aren't linked to memory buttons. They have to be manually adjusted as we have the Signature model :(

How?

Good tips. How can you do that?

​@@SteelRaider12isn't this the top trim & fl features are supposed to be available?

Oh my goodness, me too!

The USB in the glovebox!

I knew about the side windows but I am not sure if mine are working or if I don't have something set correctly. Like the key fob maybe or the mirror adjustment switch??

I love it too. Makes road trips at least half as tiring as before. Unfortunately Mazda doesn't have an effective version of this, but check out a newer Toyota with "Lane Centering" as well, it will also keep your car in the correct lane while cruise control is enabled, so all you have to do is keep your hand touching the wheel, and watch the road for anything sudden or unexpected where you'd have to suddenly intervene, but otherwise it makes road trips extremely easy to pull off. Other brand shave this too, but the only one I can vouch for personally is the effectiveness of the Toyota systems. Renting a RAV4 or Camry with unlimited miles included for your next road trip is a suggestion I'd give you if you're curious about it

Congratulations! Actually the infotainment system is easy to get used to, though it has few quirks. Never been a fan of touchscreen in my older vehicle where my friends always kept touching it and leave smudges all over the screen. Now I don’t have to deal with that.

I agree with techenthusiast, once you get used to the Mazda "mouse" and buttons you wont want to go back to a regular touchscreen.

@@WiscTJK Plus the Apple Car play and Android Auto make the system a breeze to use. I lately use one button on the steering wheel(Voice control) to do most of my navigation 🤣🤣🤣

Mazda's adaptive cruise control is too sensitive, even at the least sensitive setting, so it's annoying to use.

I've found that using adaptive cruise control in traffic leaves too much of a gap between me and the car in front. Idiots see it as an opportunity to cut in between us and then my car nose-dives because it senses a new object too close in front of me.

@@Varekai0723 I'm supposed to have adaptive cruise but so far I am manually having to adapt it on my steering wheel...up a few miles and down a few miles...way too often... Now that I watched this video I'm going into settings again. Last time I checked the only thing I found under safety settings was Blind Spot Monitoring...nothing else...so will be on the hunt. Cruise control is so satisfying when there aren't cars slowing at random times and driving erratically in front of me...living in a rural area makes it possible to use it more than in a more densely populated area. Also, one thing I have noticed both on my Hyundai Accent SE and on my Mazda 3 is that my cruise control does NOT work on very short, hilly areas that go up and down like a roller coaster. After setting cruise speed to 50 which is the speed limit the darn thing starts giving the car too much gas as I climb the small hill and gets to about 53 and then as it starts downhill ends up going faster and faster getting up to 63 and then hits the next hill. Why is this?

I love it 😀

If it’s rush hour and you’re trying to maintain a small gap to the car in front of you to prevent them from cutting in, you’re probably not (or shouldn’t be) using adaptive or traditional cruise control. If traffic is lighter and you’re still getting cut-ins, make sure you adjust the ACC’s headway (following distance) to minimum - that should help, although cut-ins can still occur by the more aggressive drivers.

The Toyota dealership where I got my used Mazda 3 S Grand Touring put a giant red bow on my vehicle when they brought it up for me after I bought it. That was a nice touch! Flowers on the dash and a spiritual memento sounds wonderful too!

THEY GAVE ME AN INFLATABLE DOLL

Automatic or Manual trans or both?

Double click the start button without any feet on the pedals and it’ll come on

That is on my manual transmission

does the manual transmission have that button under the gas pedal or is that just on automatic? @@wakinglife7065

I'm totally gonna try this on my wife's 2019 CX-5 GTR when she gets home from work!

If you already turned the car off, another option is to hit the start button with no foot on the brake. Infotainment will stay on for 15-20 min.

DAMN! Gonna try.

@Mateusz Plewa Hell yeah, Let me know if it works for you!

This does not work on Mazda 3, CX-30, and CX-50. It does work on CX-5 and CX-9

I randomly discovered this feature about 6 months ago while sitting in my driveway. By that time, I had been fighting with adaptive CC for over a year. I wouldn't mind using it more often if it braked smoother on the highway. You can't even merge left to pass someone without the radar spotting the upcoming car in the right lane and then braking heavily. 🙄

@@jbgetawesome I HATE adaptive CC.

Mine doesn't.

Hoew do you do it. i use the Mazda app to remote start. The climate control turn on but the the heated seats

@@bi2lel2 you just set your dual climate control on auto. Just push the button and the light will come on if it’s set. Set your preferred temp, and when you start your car it’ll turn the seat and steering wheel warmers on.

@@brytonmunro5270 Is this for certain years?

@@ladieofmagicful no idea tbh. Might just be the top trims too. If you have the “auto” option it’ll work.

@@brytonmunro5270 This does not work on my 2020 Mazda6 Signature with Mazda Remote start Fob

Lol, I wonder how many people didn't get the taco holder joke??!!

That's because it's a stupid joke

I have to say the CX5 is a better car than any of the latest cx30/60/90 series. They are solidly built and sound expensive on doors etc. My CX-60 top 3.3 which cost twice as much as my wife's CX 5 black edition is a pile of junk compared to it.

And be sure to check out CAAAAAARS and BIDSSS

Yup and you tap the gas pedal (or clutch) every once in a while so the car reset the 15 minute turn off timer.

Yeah but this stops the infotainment rebooting

In my car, 2023 H/B, you have to press it twice without the clutch or brake pedal depressed. I am not sure what happens when it is only pressed once. (the start/stop button)

FYI, when you say AC, I hope you realize you're not going to get cooled or heated air, you're just getting air. And if you were in recirc mode when the engine was off, you're getting stale unheated or uncooled air when the engine is off. It just wastes battery.

What? You're saying the shifters are there by just the paddles missing? That's a crazy easy thing to mod

My Mazda salesman couldn’t answer a single question I asked about my car after delivery. I had the car for two months before I knew what the auto hold feature was. I also didn’t know how to keep the side mirrors from tilting down when in reverse.

Me neither, is just a great safety system. And now it comes activated because people are so attached to their phones and always distracted.

I have a 23 CX5 and use adaptive cruise for over half my driving. what kind of crazy people don't like it?

You can switch to dumb cruise control by pressing and holding the cruise control button. 😁

It's an issue of having a ton of traffic and having people get just past you and then move into your lane with not even a car's length gap. Some Smart Cruise systems will literally slam on the brakes which is not only annoying and a pain in the ass but a safety issue and can cause a rear end collision if the person behind you doesn't have a good following distance. My old 2015 Chrysler 200C AWD did it when someone would move in front of me and in Utah on I-15 in traffic that was a big problem. I turned the smart Cruise off pretty often. My 2021 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Limited is much better and doesn't slam on the brakes but rather just coasts until the gap is what I have it set at. My recent trip from Wichita to Sioux Falls was a great example.

It's a different car, but I hate the adaptive cruise on my 2018 Accord. Even if you set it to the closest following distance, it leaves too much space, so people cut in front of you nonstop. As a result, it ends up being very busy on the gas and brakes. It's a much more leisurely drive if I use standard cruise control and just turn it off in high traffic situations.

There is a way - it’s strangely connected to the air conditioning settings. You tube

I agree 100%.

-Agreed 10000%

I saw a video earlier today that says to hit the lock button 2 times, then hold on the 3rd press to remote start your car with the key fob. I hope this works for you.

Probably winter tyres

Can you elaborate

I find that immensely valuable when you need to slam the accelerator to get out of a sticky situation but forgot you were in manual mode and don't have your hand on the shifter.

I believe to turn daytime running lights off you go into settings, vehicle settings(?) exterior lighting, and there should be an option for DRL and a box to uncheck.

Turn the mirror adjust button all the way around. Engine has to be on. If that doesn’t work, then I think your mirrors have loose wires.

Yep I'm having the same issue with my 2021 CX 5 where the battery keeps dying and I have no idea why but I suspect it's a problem with the key fob or the TCU software.
