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.

Screen protection

OPTIQ 33-inch curved display screen protector

Organization and convenience

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

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.
