I'm trying to improve the air quality in the car and I don't have a owner's manual. Does anyone know where to find the cabin filter? is it from the vent or from under the hood. Thanks in advance

 

There isnt a cabin filter in our TL's.

 

^ A search would've yielded the same answer. Best way to improve air qua;ity is to move to the countryside and open your windows, or just buy an Ionic Breeze, .

~Cheers~

 

i have a cig lighter ionic breeze, screw air fresheners all they do is stink up the car.

 

^ Mine were stolen when my car was stolen. I had two from HK that worked better than the Sharper Image ones: the two car ones cleaned my apartment faster than my big home one. They don't make this particular brand anymore so they were irreplaceable. Only cost me US$2 each but that's besides the point.

~Cheers~

 

What was the name of the product?

 

^ I forgot. I have the box somewhere, I think. If I find it I'll let you know. Honestly, it wouldn't do you any good since the name is in Chinese and that particular brand is now non-existent.

~Cheers~

P.S. It's an anion air cleaner. You should probably just get the Sharper Image one since most of the ones on eBay don't work.

 

if u tend to get the moldy/mildew smell u can spray lysol into the outside base of your windshield and turn your A/C on max...

sometimes when im driving and i get that smell, i turn up the heat all the way to flush out the smell then turn on the A/C... pretty sure it was TLBalla's recommendation???

 

^ I've done that, too. Sometimes parking under a tree in the heat gives it a funny smell. That and driving through Oakland.

~Cheers~

 

The Heater ON works, kills the mildew that creates the freeking smell....I hate that we do not have a cabin filter with charcoal...to kill the smellllll!!!!!!!!!!

 

Just wait tll you have kids.
Mildew will be least of your worries.
Ive got puke, rotten yogurt , half eaten tomato sandwhicjhes and probably a little cat shit enhancing my driving environment.
Seriously a product called "Ozium" works really well and dont usae lysol on your paint. Bleach and some water will work wayyyy better and wont hurt the paint.

 

I just looked up Ozium. I think I'm going to give it a try. I just hope it doesn't damage leather. In any case, my driver seat is pretty much in tatters, so it doesn't matter if there's any further damange. Thanks Altitude.
