Post Rear cabin air filter location

Fellas,
I am trying to replace the rear cabin air filter which is supposed to be located in the trunk (based on the instructions manual). I do not have the UL package and I am assuming the instructions are based on that. Apparently it is supposed to be located on the right side of the stock sub. When I looked in the trunk my car does not have that.
Wondering if anyone else knows where this filter is supposed to be located. Thanks in advance.


-Kenji

Don't believe me huh

The reason the UL got a rear filter is because it got a separate rear AC unit in the back, since the non-UL only got an AC unit on the front, there is only 1 AC filter in the front

Why is it bad? I see it as a good thing, the rear filter is $200 Because it is some kind of special deodorant filter.

Well it looks like I have a rear cabin air filter that I cannot use. I will be posting it on the classified section for cheap. Thanks again for the input.

if that car has controls so indicating rear air on the nav and rear center consol as well as overhead outlets for the rear air and passengers you would have a rear filter,, if not then no back air,,

only rear air you may have is from the center consol between the front seats,,

Is it an OEM Lexus deodorant filter? Where you got it from?

How much you want to sell it for? I might be interested.
