I changed mine at 10,000 miles and it seemed real dirty.

Hey, found this site today. It's amazing what all you guys do - providing so much information. I was looking for a new cabin filter at a local parts store, couldn't find the part number in the book. A quick goog brought me here, and after just a few minutes I had discovered that the cheap skates never even put one in from the get go, made 4 filters myself, installed one, and took most of the dash trim out just to look around with a flashlight and see what I could see.
Awesome. Oh, and I only got 4 filters 'cuz my house A/C filters are 20x20 so that's what I happened to have laying around. Could -almost- get 6 out of it, but so what. I get the nice allergen filters in bulk so the final cost for 4 was under $1 each anyway. Again, awesome. Thank you so much for this. One tip that might help somebody else - the 3/4" thick house A/C filter can be squished down if you have extra like I did. As long as you cut your duct tape to the right length and hold the pleats when you are "assembling", then you'll get more surface area in there and you still end up with the target size. As far as getting it into the fan box, it's not a perfect fit and I expect some air will find it's way around. Maybe a high-performance version of this idea would be to make a nice well-fitting/sealing "tray" that replaceable filters could be shoved in there with. For now I am quite happy with my cut up filter and tape. It is vastly better than _nothing_... |

Thanks, this is great! I just picked up my new 3dr 09 LB and checked at the dealer before I left the lot. They claimed they don't have any on hand (?) but that they would be in contact. I'm making my own as we, uh, text! Thanks!

All you have to do is look at the fan blades and note the direction of rotation. I'll be making some filters when I get off work. Yum!

Interesting... I'm not trying to insult anyone here, but the directions for this are actually in the Yaris manual.
However, they call it an A/C filter? Which is why I was stumped and just didn't put anything in there. No auto place sells these filters? You have to buy one from a hardware store? |

Got a question.
I want to install my carpc into the glove box compartment. Please tell me, is the air heater placed before or after the cabin air filter? I wouldn`t want to fry my computer during winter time.. Thank you! |

Just picked up the NAPA 4483 at my local shop. I was wondering why the dashboard and inside of the car was so dusty.
How strange that a $16 part was not included. I'm sure this will make a big difference, I have to wait until my girlfriend brings my car back to install it. Hopefully it will be a snug fit. edit: I installed this last night and it fits perfectly. I was going to do the DIY filter but we live in a hot environment and I had concerns about the duct tape melting. With having to replace the filter only every 10,000 miles it should be easy to go to NAPA whenever i need one. Last edited by YarisLover09; 03-26-2011 at 01:52 PM. |

 , good for all of us to know so members can obtain one with less hassle if so desired. The 3rd gen car now includes the cabin air filter from the factory, at least for the U.S. market. I would guess that Toyota did this re all the issues caused by leaving the housing empty from the factory in the past.

Saved me $85+
Excellent post! Thanks for the info. Wife's '09 Yaris cabin fan was humming. Checked the air filter/fan...No filter & a piece of paper in the fan. Your post saved me an $85 air system diagonostic charge & since the car is still under warranty I will be insistiting on a warranty Toyota cabin filter. Many thanks! DJ
