Cabin Air Filter

Where is this filter in this beast? I took the panel off below the glove box and didn't see anything that looked like a filter. Thanks.

Thanks, but that was written in 04. The 08 has a different layout. The kick panel is easy enough to remove but there are no visible screws or clips on the side panel and that is no longer a vent panel. Anyone?

Just a quick question.
Can you place two filters up into the housing ?
Good idea or not?

Would someone please update the title of this tip to include the year and model.

The Cabin Air filter is located in the rear of the center console. You have to also determine which filter you use. The activated charcoal or the standard. If you have an auto feature on your inside/outside air button then you use the charcoal filter, if no auto on that button then the standard filter is used.

1. Remove passanger side under glovebox pannel.
2. Disconect light.
3. Pull back to un-clip passenger side front center console, side kick pannel. It is not going to fully come off. Just to get access.
4. Pull back passenger floor carpeting.
5. Black plastic box with door will be visible in the back of center console.
6. Open panel door, access filter. Filter must be bent towards rear of car to be removed.
7. Make note of air-flow arrow on filter so you may replace with the correct orrientation.
8. Reverse steps to complete.

Hope this helps.
