Where is the cabin filter on my 2021 Supra premium. I've searched the net and hand book, and nothing. They do show a cabin filter for sale, but nothing where it's installed.

I was wondering that myself. I wanted to install a K&N filter. Wouldn't it be in the same area as the BMW Z4 located under the passenger side dash?

I looked, passenger side under dash. Saw 2 quick release tabs. I'm going to see if it's there.

They are usually always under the passenger side dash

you need to remove *3 hose before removing cover. I will have to check to make sure I have this soon. because recently, I was servicing my sister's nissan sentra and I was shocked to find out that filter was missing completely. she said it was never serviced before so one of 2 scenarios, it was never there from dealership or some shady mechanic shop removed it while it was there..

What a freaking hassle, On my 2018 4runner limited, they wanted to charge $40.00 to change cabin filter. It was the simplest thing I've done. Took less than 5 mins. to change out dropping the glove box. I can imagine what they'll charge for the new Supra?

Surprised it is not accessible from the glove box like most cars ... SMH ??‍♂

This makes sense now.

I tried to see if the glovebox can be detached since I wanted to run some wiring behind it for the footwell lights but it appears the long dash panel behind the climate control has to come out too. Ugh. Thankfully I was able to just run it behind the panel under the glovebox.

Well, got a vinegar smell lately when the a/c s on. Time to change the cabin filter after 2 yrs of use. It looks simple, but for a 70 yr old bending and position of body will be a hassle.

Could you let me know how it goes please and any tricky/fiddly parts as I would like to be ready to change mine too and I'm not very good with these things / what tools are needed etc. So any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
