Are you referring to the little flashing "key" icon?

Did not know that it had those features! There is no green eye on the battery itself though.

Those are from your cell phone.

I'm trying to figure out these status indicators as well. On the bottom right of the infotainment screen (2021 CX-5) there is a cell phone battery level, cell phone signal strength, and then 5 horizontal bars... I can't figure out what those horizontal bars indicate! Help!


See bottom right for mystery cell phone status indicator

The horizontal bars are the car's signal strength - what it uses for MyMazda and telemetry.

Aha! That makes sense. Thanks! And from what I've heard that connectivity is through the SiriusXM satellite signal... does anyone know if that's true? If so, then basically those horizontal bars are satellite signal strength then...
