The best sigurong gawin diyan maglagay ka ng uling o charcoal para matangal iyong masamang amoy.

And make it a habit na i-turn off na ang A/C kapag malapit ka na sa destination mo. Para warm air na lang ang bumuga. I dunno pero I've read na nakakatulong daw ito para di maging smelly. I practice this and it's effective. (car is a Vios)

Same as when you are turning on the A/C. Fan muna for a couple of seconds then turn on the A/C na.

This practice works.

May moisture kasing naiiwanan kung sabay na off ang compressor and fan. Ito iyong nangangamoy when you turn on the aircon...

So, turning off the compressor first while leaving the fan on, will minimize moisture accumulation and its resulting smell....

The problem is the A/C cabin filter. After several weeks or months of use, it accumulates enough moisture to be a breeding ground for bacteria.

I solved my problem by replacing the filter with an aftermarket one called CaireFresh (http://www.cairefresh.com/automotive.htm). The filter media is treated with a chemical to prevent bacterial growth. I bought it from a forumer at TeamFD for 2k. It's still cheaper than the OEM, minus the smell.

The fan-first method works on both of our FDs.
