Default discovered i have no a/c filter

so I was doing some cleaning to my car and I figured I'd clean the a/c filter. to my surprise, I open it and NO filter is in there! wow.. so now I'm just wondering if this part is available to buy at my local autozone or something? or do I need to get it straight from toyota? $45/ea seems kinda pricey for a filter!

yea, i noticed that too, i just bought the cabin air filter and opened it up and nothing was there. I thought the previous owners got jacked by the dealership or something. Well, this is good to know.

Was the black plastic filter holder also missing? Difficult installing the filter without it.

This piece?
Yes, I have this piece. I unscrewed it, when I removed it is when I looked inside to see no filter.

My mistake. The filter holder is included with your type ACC filter.

Does it take two?
