Cadillac OPTIQ Accessories & Owner Resources

Cadillac OPTIQ Accessories & Owner Resources

This is a growing list of useful resources and accessories for Cadillac OPTIQ owners and shoppers.

Some links in this post may be affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. I’ll aim to include products that are genuinely useful for OPTIQ ownership and have a rating of at least 4.0 stars when added. Ratings, pricing, stock, and fitment can change, so always double-check the current listing and compatibility with your specific model year before buying.

If you have an accessory or resource you have personally used and recommend, share it in the comments.

Home charging

Emporia Classic Level 2 EV Charger

Owner recommendation: I use an Emporia charger at home and love it. It is a solid option for people who want faster Level 2 charging, scheduling, energy-use tracking, and app controls.

Before purchasing, make sure you select the correct connector and installation type for your home. They have both J1772 and NACS. A licensed electrician may be appropriate depending on your electrical setup.

Cadillac charging resources

Cadillac’s official charging information is a good place to start if you are still deciding between the included charging cord, a home Level 2 setup, public charging, or available adapters.

Aftermarket floor mat and cargo-liner set

A TPE All Weather Protection Slush Floor Liner set in Black. Much better price than a Cadillac set, 4+ stars.

Screen protection

OPTIQ 33-inch curved display screen protector

The OPTIQ’s large curved display is a major part of the interior. If you prefer extra protection against fingerprints and everyday wear, look for a protector that specifically states compatibility with the OPTIQ’s 33-inch display.

Cadillac owner resources

Before applying any film or cleaning product, review official Cadillac guidance and your owner’s manual for display-care recommendations.

Screen-safe microfiber cloths

Keep a dedicated soft microfiber cloth in the vehicle for dust and fingerprints. Avoid rough paper towels or abrasive cleaning materials.

Organization and convenience

A vehicle-specific organizer can make the center-console area more useful for small daily items like glasses, tissues, charging cables, coins, or wipes.

Look for a listing that clearly identifies your OPTIQ model year and trim.

Collapsible cargo organizer

A collapsible organizer is useful for keeping groceries, cleaning supplies, umbrellas, charging gear, and emergency items from rolling around in the cargo area.

Cleaning and care

Automotive microfiber towel set

A quality microfiber towel pack is useful for interior dusting, display cleaning, quick exterior cleanups, and drying around door jambs.

Look for soft, microfiber towels with strong recent reviews rather than the cheapest bulk pack. PRO TIP: Don't use them on the screen, keep a separate one for cleaning that.

Interior cleaner

Choose a cleaner designed for automotive interiors and appropriate for soft-touch plastics, vinyl, and leatherette surfaces.
