A/c has a stink smell in SC400

whenever my A/C is on, it gives off this very stink odor. anyone know what the problem might be? I don't mind it, but my passenger had made it known that the A/C didn't smell too good. What can I do to fix this? very embarrassing.

You need to replace the cabin air filter. Dust, pollen, mold is on the current one if it is even in there. These should be changed every 15k miles or so.
I went to change mine and there wasn't anything in there. Works great now, no smell. Check the lexus parts dept.

A nice deodorizer treatment would help too.

the cabin filter goes for 40-60 from what ive seen =/ i believe u can make your own filter out of the home AC filters. just use the correct measurements.
