well, yeah dealers charge a bit for the OEM cabin filter...

but why not get this one from Amazon? cheaper than dealer, and it has carbon and baking powder to boot!

I have an 04 and just put new one in...apparently the box cabin air filter arent factory installed, but rather dealership installed...i was surprised when I didnt see any filter :X but found out later why. I bought one from ebay for around 11$
