    I was able to install CarPlay to my Optima last night, along with a new navigation maps update. I was wondering though if I can somehow get a digital speedometer on the screen in the instrument cluster? Has anybody been able to get it, or is it impossible to do? This is a 2015 Optima with the...

    Trying to decide if it's really worthwhile to go with the ADD W1 V3.3 OCC on my 2018 Optima 2.0T; from what I've seen here and elsewhere, most folks simply choose to go with the single inlet OCC like the W1 V3 (and really, using just the one OCC rather than dual OCC setups some other folks...

    Currently have 2014 Optima EX with Infinity Sound System/Navigation. Just curious if I were to get a head unit that has Apple Car Play in the future, any recommendations. Also, would it add anything to my current system outside of just the Car Play feature?
  13. 4th Generation Optima (2016 - 2020)
    So today I decided to empty out my OCC. This would be the second time for me. Some differences I noticed compared to last time is how the oil has a much lighter color compared to that of the summer weather period. During the summer the oil looked just like normal black oil. Must be because of...

    So this weekend I went to a couple different audio shops to see what they would charge to install my amp and one 10in sub. The lowest quote that I got was low six hundred. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Apparently the stock system is top of the line from what they all told me. Each...
