    I am going to replace the cabin filter, is there any advantage to the charcoal filter VS the standard?

    Sure, the advance is that, besides filtering solid particles of pollution out of the air, the charcoal filter will also absorb odors. Or, you could hide a box of baking soda under the passenger seat to do that job for you.

    i got the charcoal, it's especially effective with the pip 100% recirculation button, now a relic of the past.:(

    A bit overkill to pay the extra money

    What absorbs / filters when you drive with the window open? :)
