How-To replace the Micron air cabin filter

[DKaz]

Does anyone know how to change it? My 5's constantly getting dusty and it's bugging me. I changed my Corolla's cabin filter every 16,000km which is accessible from the glove box and never had problem with dust, I'm suspecting that the previous owner of my 5 never changed it. I couldn't find anything in the owners manual. Thanks.

Apparently the part # is CC29-61-J6X so now I just have to purchase one first.

Here are some pictures of how to replace the cabin air filter in a 2008 MAZDA5. It is very easy to change the filters and should take about 20 minutes including gathering the tools (a short phillips screwdriver). The pictures do not show removal of the black under glovebox panel. This is easy to remove - permanently. It is a decorative piece no one can see unless your working under the dash / below the glovebox. It just snaps on / off. Pitch it or use it to mount your 12v inverter to power your laptop. Cheers!

Does anyone know if the 08 and later models use a different cabin filter. When I called the stealer, they asked me if I had "rear ventilation." I told him that I did(all 08's and later have rear fans). I called another dealer and they asked me the same question. When I called Napa, Kragen, went online to the freshcabinair.com, no one said/indicated there was a difference/asked me about rear ventilation. Anyway, I don't want to take out the old one until I know I've got the right part. I know the filter comes as two pieces.

Thanks.
