Default Rotten Egg Smell

Hi fellow members. I have the sc430 but my brother has the 2011, IS 250. Recently he told me that he smells Rotten Eggs when he has the windows open. Has anyone here has had the smelly experience? If so what's the cause.
Thank you......Chris From OZ.

If the vent/flaps are replaced then you'll also prevent the radio amplifier from being exposed from moisture. Some say that sulphur smell is from the catalytic converters going bad, but that's a controversial take at best.
