when you cut the a/c off and fan is running, a faint sweet cigar smell comes from the vents? Smells like it to me... just wondering if anyone elses smells like that, and if it goes away as the a/c system wears in. Only at 5k miles right now and haven't used the a/c until this past week.

This is in a '10 IS250

If you take it back to the dealer, they will clean out your vents and spray the ducts and cabin filters with that neutralizing stuff.

It worked for me.

turn on the heater full blast on high for a while to dry out any mold/mildew. check your cabin filter too.

if that doesn't work you'll need some 1z einszett klima-cleaner. ask some of the vendors for prices.
