Question Cabin Air Filter

So I was reading one of the other posts and he said that the TC does not come with a cabin air filter but it has the space for one to be installed. So did they just not put the filter in? Or do you have to buy a parts kit so that a cabin filter can be installed?

There is a place to put the filter, but no filter from the factory. Very easy to install.

don't know on the 2nd gen tc but on 1st gen even tho there is a slot for it there isn't a filter for it from the factory. the parts list at toyota for cabin filters doesn't even have it listed for a tc because it could interfere with the a/c system operation.

people have put ones in that will fit like from the corolla or custom make one themselves.

i personally don't have one because of that reason.

But in this case, the parts system does actually list and show a filter, there just isn't one in the car from factory.

Nothing this filter will interfere with. Just a simple addition to provide cleaner air.
