Is coding or activation required after installation?
Yes, in certain trim levels of the Optima III, coding or activation is required so the vehicle’s electronics correctly recognise the added signals.

Can I install the wiring kit myself?
Yes, with experience in vehicle electrics and correct tools, installation is possible. For complex equipment or if warning messages occur, professional installation is advised.

Is the wiring kit weatherproof and durable?
Yes, our wiring kits are built to last, resistant to moisture, corrosion, and temperature fluctuations. Quality connectors and materials ensure reliability.

What should I do if warning messages or electrical errors appear?
Errors often originate from incorrect wiring or incompatible components. Adding a correctly installed relay or module and ensuring proper wiring typically resolves these issues.
