Replying to: mickeyrom (May 15, 2008 4:28 am) Thanks for the info, I'm sure we'll get it figured out. The dealer quoted a price for a fob through them at $130 each and if I can get them someplace else (and they work) I'm definately going to try that first. You don't realize how much you come to rely on keyless entry until you don't have it!

Replying to: pabubba (May 15, 2008 10:22 am) You might be able to find the fob on eBay but, as you have discovered, you have to get the right part number. I bought a fob on eBay a few years ago that looked just like the one for my minivan. But it was a different part number and it didn't work with my van.   Maybe an Optima owner can tell us if the Optima's fob is user-programmable. Some are, but some require a special device to program it--meaning the dealer has to do it and will probably charge for it.

Replying to: pabubba (May 15, 2008 10:22 am) Try a different dealer.I have found that the prices for service as well as parts can be different.For example a tranny fluid change is $65 at one dealer and over $100 at another.I also found that the oil filter at two different dealers was totally different, almost twice as much at one than the other.So look at other dealers before you settle on one.They are no all the same. I found one at last where the service dept. was outstanding.It took three tries before I found one I liked. Replies to this message: csandste (May 15, 2008 7:36 pm) pabubba (May 15, 2008 7:56 pm)
#722 of 855 road noise-any complaints? by farmer7 May 15, 2008 (6:03 pm)
We bought an 2008 optima today and on our drive home the interstate had quite a few rumble strips due to the blacktop seperation. The drive across these strips was quite loud and a definate "ping" , Much noisier than the 1998 windstar we traded in. Only 31 miles on the vehicle so still getting a feel of the road.

Replying to: mickeyrom (May 15, 2008 10:59 am) Mine is the same number as mickeyrom's: 310T   It's on ebay motors for $15.99 plus $5.99 shipping from Ilovewheezer (Kia Optima key fob search)

Replying to: mickeyrom (May 15, 2008 10:59 am) I called another local Kia Dealer to see if they could provide a little better service, they entered my VIN number and were able to give me the Kia Part# of 95430-2G200 which ends up being the FCC ID:OSLOKA-310T Fob (yeah, of course the one I didn't get!). They quoted a price of $138 to order a fob but said if I was able to find them online they would program them for $45 labor. I was able to find two on craiglist for $15 each including shipping so I'll see if they work (the first dealer offered to program them for free). Thanks to everyone who responded to my post.

Replying to: farmer7 (May 15, 2008 6:03 pm) Congratulations on your new Optima, Fred. May I suggest you check the air pressure in your tires? Sometimes new cars come with overinflated tires and the dealer forgets to check them. That might make them louder than normal, with a harsher ride.
#726 of 855 Optima Ads by csandste Jun 12, 2008 (9:24 pm)
Finally noticing a few national TV ads for the Optima, there's certainly been many more for the Spectra in the last few months. Replies to this message: mickeyrom (Jun 13, 2008 8:14 am)

Replying to: csandste (Jun 12, 2008 9:24 pm) Most underrated,and most underappeciated car on the planet I doubt that I will ever trade or sell mine.
