I'm considering purchasing a 2015 Optima SX that has what appears to be the base radio. I'd really like to have Android Auto in the car. I understand there was an update for the 2015 Optima that adds Android Auto. But I don't think that is for this base radio, right? It's for the nav-radio unit...

Hi there, This is only my second post here. I just wanted to know if anyone with a base model here has installed fog lights themselves, including a switch for them and the wiring. I'm new to cars in general (and know close to nothing about wiring,) but where I live foggy mornings are basically...

Wow, I have a 2017 Optima Hybrid Base (I should have bought a EX or Premium) because I have tried every type or adapter for LED & HID's and also called all the Major Shops and I am not able to find anything that works. The Base model come with Projectors and Halogens which are garbage. I then...

Hey guys, In August last year, I bought a 2015 EX to keep the miles off what's now my week end car. After driving it for 7 months, I traded it in for a loaded 2015 SX-T. Three main reasons for this move: 1 - I needed a little more humpf from my daily. The EX is just too slow and to boring to...

I have a OCD cleaned and immaculate spicy red 2012 Optima EX base. I added OEM mud guards, drop in K&N, matching interior LED spicy red lighting accents, a 257 watt RMS kicker interior amp, and a separate 400 watt rms dual 10" MTX magnum sub. Speakers are Kicker 60 rms (front) and Alpine Mystake...

Does anybody know everything i need to accomplish this or if it is even possible. I know i need the Panel with the Hardkey buttons to navigate within the nav, and a factory nav unit and bezel. Is that all i would need to do this mod? Ive searched but couldnt find the exact answers i needed...

sup folks! my wifey picked up her new ride so I had to join the forum to get some inside advice. my first impression on the car was sweet sexy lines on the car. interior was pretty classy, nothing outrageous. got that new car smell going so she's lovin it. only cons is the missing spare and...

other then gas mileage going down you think brakes would wear out faster as well? kia will void the warranty on suspension as well? thanks

I've been using this forum for quite a while to research mod ideas and now I finally have something I can contribute myself. I wanted to get decent sound out of the base HU without spending a large amount of time and money. I've succeeded, IMHO, by simply replacing all six speakers. The key...

i've had other cars exhibit lifter clatter before - and often times it was due to the wrong oil being used. Further, after the engine warms up to op-temp, i swear it sounds like a singer sewing machine ticking away - the ticking isn't bad and is probably normal valve train noise BUT the cold...

Hi I'm getting ready to pull the pin and buy an Optima Hybrid (why hybrid, because our provincial sales tax is 10% and I get up to 3k worth of that back by buying a hybrid, though it expires the end of March). So this is my dilemma...obviously they want to move the 2012 and they are...

This thread is for those looking for the next leap in handling and performance from the Optima. For the same MSRP as an SXL, you'll be able to soon buy a 180 hp, tuneable BMW 3 Series nicely equipped. This will be nice for those who didn't want to make the $6-10k leap to a 328i. You can...

I have a 2012 Hybrid and decided to change the low beam headlight bulbs for a bulb to give more light, after a search, i found some online (H11b) Wow , how do you get them out/in without stripping down the front of the car , i must admit i have large hands , any ideas

Maybe it's me..but the speakers definitely don't have any 'omph' to them? Maybe it's me used to getting overly-loud, extra bass sound systems that drown out the music? Maybe it's me using USB cord only to play my music? ..but then again I have tried Sirius/ FM/ Jukebox etc .. hmmm :\
