I find it a little premature that only after 3 months that i needed to have the dealer replace my Fob battery so soon as it was giving me a warning and not working the way it should and they tested the battery voltage on a volt meter and it was in fact below the 3v mark at 2.95 volts and it caused it to not work well at all.

Has anyone else had to replace their fob battery yet?

Almost 4 months for me and no issues.

Hmm weird... I figured I would at least get 1.5-2 years out of the factory fob battery but oh well no biggie just wondering if anybody else has had to replace theirs Early.

This might help to save the battery on the FOD
New Mazda 3 & CX-30 putting your spare key to sleep

Not yet but I will let you know because it is not acceptable. Thanks to advise.
