I ran to take pics cuz you said you needed some! and laughing cuz your 1st pics was it, I hope you didn't mind my sarcasm! Seriously though the only way to learn is to try! These cars can get REALLY expensive if you are not able to do at least some work on them yourself!!!

Step one:
Find your car should look similar to this:

Step two:
Pop the hood by pulling on this:

Step three:
Open the hood by pulling this and lifting:

Step four:
Remove these just pull on them they come off:

Step five:
(kept large so you can see) 4 clips (red) remove them and lift, still can't get at it might have to remove the 2 screws (blue)

Step six do all in reverse! Drink a beer! Any questions let me know I'll be happy to answer them! And now that you've done it....

Thanks for the pics but is there really a need to be an *** with the sarcasm? I thought this was a forum,where people help new comers to "diy"? I mean at one time,you were where i am,so think about being kind,minus the sarcastic attitude by posting a car with a circle around it,thats just plaing being a dick.

Hope you get your filter changed if you need the cabin filter changed go to audidiy.com they have a ton of stuff there. Do I still get a fist bump?

I'm amazed anyone would need a DIY to figure out that the filter is inside that box. Guess I've just been around cars long enough.
