Important 2006 Fitment Requirement

For a 2006 Kia Optima, the fifth character of the VIN must be the letter “E.” This restriction applies to U.S.-market vehicles and distinguishes this application from other 2006 Optima configurations.

Required Vehicle Equipment

The vehicle must have:

• Factory automatic temperature control

• Digital HVAC display

• AUTO button

• Matching gray/black interior-control finish

• Matching electrical connectors

• Matching mounting points

• Matching OEM number 97250-2G300K2 or a documented interchange

Not Compatible With

• Vehicles equipped with manual A/C controls

• Panels without an AUTO button or digital display

• Beige 97250-2G300K1 applications unless the color difference is acceptable and Kia confirms interchangeability

• Manual-control part numbers 97250-2G000K1 or 97250-2G000K2

• 2006 Optima vehicles without “E” as the fifth VIN character

• 2009–2010 Optima controls such as 97250-2G380K2

• Vehicles with different connectors, mounting points or faceplate colors

Part-Number Differences

• 97250-2G300K1: Automatic climate control with beige interior finish

• 97250-2G300K2: Automatic climate control with gray/black interior finish

• 97250-2G000K1: Manual climate control with beige finish

• 97250-2G000K2: Manual climate control with gray/black finish

These versions may fit the same general dashboard area but differ in climate-system type and interior color. Always match the complete number and control layout.

Condition

Used genuine OEM component. Normal marks, light scratches, fading or cosmetic blemishes from previous use and removal may be present. Donor mileage is unknown.

Please review all photographs for the exact condition of the digital display, buttons, knobs, mounting tabs, wiring connectors and housing.

What Is Included

• One OEM automatic climate-control panel

No sensors, dashboard trim, mounting hardware, wiring harness or additional HVAC components are included unless clearly shown in the listing photographs.

Installation

Professional installation is recommended. The control is intended as a replacement for a matching factory automatic HVAC panel. It will not convert a vehicle equipped with manual climate controls to automatic operation.

Initialization, diagnostic scanning or HVAC calibration may be required following installation.

Buyer Verification

Before purchasing, compare the original control with part number 97250-2G300K2. Also verify the AUTO button, digital display, gray/black finish, connectors and mounting locations.

For 2006 Optima applications, confirm that the fifth VIN character is “E.” When uncertain, provide the complete VIN to a Kia dealer or qualified parts specialist.
