This is clearly Trivial Vs a blown engine but I'm wondering Why (since Nav v13) my audio drops from 10 to (ie) 2 in R and comes back in D. The ONLY techie fact I know is that the Bkup Camera is engaged in R and I'm lost from there. The Murphy's Law factor I've considered is that via a v13...

Why are my keys locked inside my new 2019 Optima when the engine is running

Don't get me wrong, I really love my S Model, but I wished KIA could offer a EX/ SX/ SX-L with out the Pano Sun Roof, saves a least a grand off the price. If they had that I would probably ended up with the EX w/ premium and tech package. I never used it in my Spectra5 SX and Forte EX. What says...

OK - so this is completely my fault. I purchased a 2014 Optima EX a year ago. First time buying a newer vehicle. It didn't even register with me that the car wouldn't have a spare tire in the trunk. I noticed about a month ago, it has the tire repair kit. No spare tire and no jack. Any...

Yelp and Pandora. Really KIA?? I use Pandora which works great as a Sirius alternative, but Yelp requires wifi. Useless if I'm on the road looking for a place. If I'm missing something and there's all these other apps hiding somewhere, please let me know!! Thanks all...

I bought this 2014 LX and found out the tires are 215 55 r17, the sticker on the driver side panel also says the same. I checked online and found out the tire size for a LX should be 16 inch, 17 inch is for EX model. I am 100 percent sure its a LX not EX, I am confused, how come mine has stock...

I got permission from Simon to copy his test results elsewhere, and I feel they are important to demonstrate the reason I harp on DSP so much. This is what happens to a near perfect speaker, when it is placed in a car. This is why you can NEVER have true sound quality without a highly...

I've loved Optimas for a few years now, and we have all heard they are really safe, and this and that. However, I think this article just shows how safe they are. This is my cousins car, a 2015 Optima. What is not said in the article is that they got Tboned (as shown from the photos), but the...

New to the forum, I have been looking up a few things and stumbled across the forum. I'm a proud owner of 2014 SXL, this thing is sweet!!! what I was researching that lead me here is that I'm having an interesting issue with my blinker. Sometimes it works, sometimes it acts like the bulb is...

I am new to the forum . I want to know why they say K5 instead of kia optima ? I think that in other countries the car range is called k ?

Been looking everywhere online to see if anyone has these but no luck. Why is it that nobody has them in stock? Can anybody explain why this is happening? Is there another brand other than Megan that will go well with our Optima's with the same drop of 1.5 front and back and also in the same...

I did a search for best intake. I got alot of topics that might mention the WORD intake but didn't have time to search the hundreds of topics and thousands of posts to find the info I'm after. I'm sure has been asked before but the search doesn't work the best to filter anything. What is the...

Here's a long story. I ordered by DR-34 wheels from Discount Tire Direct, awesome service, fast shipping, more on this later. There's a Midas on my block that I brought my new wheels to mount and balance. They quoted $100. I got a call from Midas after they were 3 wheels into balancing, "all...

Could use a little insight and advice here, maybe even a couple doh's. I had SXL DRL's with 5050 leds in them. These are the newer 3 wire types with a red, black and green wire. I shorted them out today and I'm not certain how. First of all, is there a way to "fix" blown DRL's? And by blown I...

I just bought a 2015 Optima, she is a beauty. Why is the glove box cooled? I don't really put food in one as to keep it coolOLLOLOLOOLOLOLOL I have been driving for about 40 years now, non of my vehicles glove boxes were ever cooled ;) This could become a automotive trend.

I was wondering why do manufactures tend to turbo charge smaller engines IE: why does Kia turbo charge a 2.0 liter instead of turbo charging the larger 2.4 liter engine?
