The Optima is Kia’s first run at the mid-size class, and while it might not be on the same level as the Honda Accord or
Toyota Camry, it has most of the right stuff to compete. For 2005, this Hyundai Sonata clone receives only minor updates,
including clear turn signals and updated leather seats. The standard engine is a 2.4-liter, DOHC four-cylinder unit making
138 hp. An optional 170-hp, 2.7-liter V-6 is also available. The four-cylinder is offered with a Sportmatic automatic
transmission. The Optima comes in two trim levels: LX and EX. LX’s get standard power windows, a CD player, cruise
control, and air conditioning. The EX adds alloy wheels, a sunroof, leather, climate control, and keyless entry. The Optima
is a sophisticated car-right on target for the mid-priced class and, as a bonus, it carries Kia’s killer 10-year/100,000-mile
warranty.

Common Problems
1. I am having trouble connecting with an ‘02 Audi A4.
This vehicle does pose connection issues with most aftermarket tools. Please continue to retry the connection.
2. I am having trouble getting good data rates on a specific controller.
Audi/VW consolidated sensors into groups. Some sensor groups can update at slower rates then others. Typically, this is text-based sensors on non-critical models like Telephone or Climate control. To resolve this select only those sensors that are important to you until you reach a saturation point for the data throughput.
