Thanks for this video. I was not looking forward to trial-and-error. But I also didn't want to pay the 1000% premium on the filter to have it installed. Did your friend like the charcoal filter better than the paper one?

[bythabayplayer]

@RobTheBolder Yeah, the charcoal ones are a bit nicer, filter out a bit more pollen and odors

Did it change by 2006? All I had to remove was the glove-box door... Didn't see any reason to remove all the trim stuff???

[bythabayplayer]

@dtuna42 it can be done without removing some of the trim, however, you risk damaging the panels.

Well, the dealer offered to do this for a cool $150. that kind of griped me. So I went to Advanced Auto and got a filter for $17 and then followed this video. I finished the entire job in less than 15 minutes.

I am not richer...and smugger :)

Thanks for the video. What a great service.

Thanks, I was able to do it fairly easily thanks to your video. Also did the engine air filter, thanks again!

[TVconrad]

would it matter if you put it upside down by accident and if you did would you be able to know ? my new cabin charcoal filter doesnt have an direction to put it or any words. doesnt say upside down .. no pointing arrows... someone please help

[aldenti]

Outstanding. Really. Thanks for the excellent vid.

followed step by step!! thanks man! i finished as well in less than 15mins it was super dirty down there. the only diference its that mines is nav so it just had a couple clips more but thats no trouble!

[ZuluComander]

i did this but now there is a dash light blinking at me it looks like it has to do with the airbags. i got all the wires plugged back in right how do i reset it

[BoingBear35]

my cabin air filter didnt have any arrows pointing which way the air flow is flowing. does it matter? i bought an OEM cabin air filter too.

[abhele16]

can you spray lightly a scent over the filter?

@SpeedKid117 sorry, looks like I gave you the dimensions for the engine air filter, not the cabin air filter. sorry :)

[SpeedKid117]

Arrrrgh... Youtube won't let me post a website address. That description says...

Length: 8 1/2"

Width: 7 13/16"

Thickness: 1 3/16"

which is equivalent to

216mm(length)

198mm(width)

30m­­m(thickness)

[SpeedKid117]

@eturkov According to that description and the ones I found elsewhere, the dimensions you've kindly given me is way off. Is that the one you've really used?
