The Lexus Soarers Club of Austrailia (sry, no link at the moment) has a product (from Japan) listed in their sales area that uses an extremely hot chemical of some kind placed in a can of water (to prevent burned carpet) that is "set off" like a bug bomb with the air system running to remove ALL mold, odors etc from the air system completely process takes about 15-20 minutes and "supposedly" removes ALL types and kinds of odors. Worth a shot if all else fails. Additionally, autopia (link avail here somewhere) has a baking soda process described in their forum that is used by pro detailers to remove odors..

GL and let us know what worked.

I'm watching that episode right now as I'm reading this thread. Just thought I had to share.
