Key fob sensitivity
2021 CX-5 - key fob is way too sensitive. Lat year, I found my trunk open unexpectedly a few times. Apparently a wee bit too sensitive. So, I bought one of those leather key fob covers, but seems that didn't work too well either. Now, there's a scratch on my trunk, because the trunk opened while in my garage and hit a metal bolt. Anyhow, I called a few Mazda dealers and asked i they could adjust the fob's sensitivity by changing to a 3 second hold as to avoid this issue. No go on that. I had the same thing with my Audi and that's how they fixed the problem. I think its a very poor and dangerous design issue. I'm going to look for a better/harder case, but what was Mazda thinking?

Yes. Never happened with any other car that I have had, except my Audi, which was fixed with an adjustment to the fob.

I bought a leather cover months ago, but offered little protection against accidental openings. Yours looks like there is a covering over the buttons, correct? Do you have a link for your cover?

In the photo I uploaded there is a red neoprene case and also a red hard plastic case, both types cover the buttons. At Amazon using the search terms Mazda CX-5 FOB case lots of options are revealed, including the two types which I have. Below is the direct link to one of them:
