My kid manually locked my Mazda c-x5 while my purse was in the house (with the fob) and it locked us out while it was still running (was defrosting the windows)

Apparently we glitched the system and it’s not registering my car fob to unlock it now, so I need my car to die so it can reset and I can use my fob to get in.

  • We recently bought it and just found out we have no key in the fob. 🙃

  • It was NOT remote start, he pushed to start it.

I know remote start runs for like 15 min then it will turn off but I think I read after Idling for x amount of time it will auto shut off.

Is that true and for how long will it idle.

Thanks!

    It never shut off unfortunately. If we had done remote start, it would of shut off after 15 minutes, but because it was push to start it never did.

    Basically looks like perhaps once the car is running, at least in push to start mode, the fobs and app basically lock you out from using them. 🥴 LOL

    Because it’s still a new purchase (We bought it through enterprise car sales dealership) it’s covered for them to pay to send roadside to come out and unlock it! Woot!

    They put it under priority, and the guy came within like 25 / 30 minutes.

    Car is unlocked and turned off and the dealership is going to get back with me on hopefully being able to get me at least one key to put in our fob.
