Sounds easy enough......THXNo one should ever pay the dealer to replace the cabin air filter! 100 dollars is way more than the 69 my dealership was asking and I still wouldn't pay it. The cabin air filter is located behind the glove box and is very, very easy to replace. NO TOOLS REQUIRED! Probably the easiest thing to replace on the entire car. You open the glove box, and unlatch the hook on the far right. The glove box moves out of the way and the air filter is right there. You pull it out, replace, then close everything back up.
It's called "staying in business..."Its insane how they charge ppl ridiculous amounts of money just because the manual doesn't tell you where it is..
U B D MAN, thanksNo problem... I forgot to add that when you unlatch the hook, you push in on the sides of the glove box to bring it all the way down... I just went downstairs to double check... I learned where it was from my 08 accord lol... Its insane how they charge ppl ridiculous amounts of money just because the manual doesn't tell you where it is..
I bought one on Amazon for $10.60...copy and paste below at AmazonAfter 24k on my CT ,my honda dealer replace my cabin air filter,it cost me 100$,is it normal or my dealer is a ...?

Great post! After getting to the filter to my surprise there was so much build up of leaves, dust and bugs no wonder there was a little oder coming from the vents. I will be ordering a filter to see if that clears up the smell. Thanks for the explanation on how to get to it, that was so easy! lol.U B D MAN, thanks

Lol my bad you probably figured it out by now but you push the latch with your thumb. Once it's unlatched you push in on the walls of the glovebox and allow for it to fall out of the way. You will then see the cabin air filter and there are no screws to remove. Just pull it out, replace, and close everything back up. Just remember to reattach the hook or the glove box will drop very hard when you open it.Pedro,
I checked the glove box but can't figure how to unlatch the hook. In my 05 Avalon there was a screw to remove. No such thing in the CT. I must be mechanical challenged.
I must be glove boxed challanged!!! Which direction do you push with your thumb? I broke the glove box clips on my CRV trying to change the filter..don't want to do the same to the latch!Lol my bad you probably figured it out by now but you push the latch with your thumb.
