The FRAM Fresh Breeze cabin air filter is an easy to install air filter that both filters and deodorizes the air drawn into your vehicle, as well as improves available airflow critical to the efficient workings of air conditioning and heating systems. Designed utilizing the first of its kind mix of active carbon and baking soda woven into the fibers of the filter, it has the ability to remove up to 98% of contaminants that drivers, passengers and vehicle air ducts are exposed to, while also providing twice the protection against commonly occurring odors than other cabin air filters.
Not nearly as well-known as familiar oil and standard air filters, many drivers may never even have heard of a cabin air filter. Usually located either inside the passenger compartment near the glove compartment, or under the hood near the windshield, they are used to filter air drawn into your car from the outside for the comfort of passengers, as well as for use by air conditioning and heating systems. They are designed to minimize particles both large and small, as well as allergens and other contaminants and are used in approximately 80% of the vehicles built since the 2000 model year. It is recommended that they be replaced on either an annual basis, or every 15,000 miles. Like any other automotive filter, neglecting to do this can lead to possible risks to your vehicle and/or passengers, in this case including impeded performance of your heating or air conditioning systems by limiting the flow of fresh clean air used by those systems, as well as possible corrosion inside the system and musty or even noxious air vented throughout the vehicle.
The FRAM Fresh Breeze Cabin Air Filter utilizes a unique technology that combines the natural filtering properties of activated carbon and the renowned deodorizing properties of Arm & Hammer baking soda. Infused together within the filter's folds this allows for the removal of 98% of road dust and road pollen* that your vehicle's air circulation system takes in. In addition, this combination also allows for superior protection against odors drawn from outside sources, providing twice the ability to deodorize common odors compared to filters not treated with carbon and baking soda.
FRAM filters are warranted against defects in design, materials and workmanship. New vehicle warranties remain in effect when FRAM filters are installed according to directions on FRAM filter packaging and replaced at least as often as vehicle manufacturer's recommended change intervals.
Today FRAM is known as America's number one oil filter brand, and the FRAM team continues to manufacture and market a variety of quality oil, air and fuel filters, as well as many automotive accessories such as PCV valves, crankcase filters and transmission modulators.
*Road dust and pollen particles ranging in size from 5-100 microns.

May reduce air flow coming from vents,

This review is from: FRAM CF10132 Fresh Breeze Cabin Air Filter (Misc.)
I purchased and installed this on a 2005 Toyota Camry. It is about the simplest replacement part to do by yourself. The fit on the filter was perfect; very snug and tighter even than the OEM cabin air filter that was previously installed. Be sure to orient the filter so that you can compress the "accordion" of the filter element a bit to tuck it under the little tabs that hold the filter in place. Also make sure to match the arrow on the filter with the direction of air flow for the ventilation system (on the '05 Camry the air flow is up).
Don't expect the baking soda and activated carbon to magically eliminate any outside odors from coming in to the vehicle. We can't really tell if this filter is really twice as effective at deodorizing than regular filters, as the description claims. However, one thing we have noticed is that the filter does seem effective at getting rid of the musty smell that sometimes occurs after the car is started again after the A/C has been running for awhile. One negative characteristic of this filter is that the volume of air coming out of our vents seems to be noticeably weaker than before with an OEM filter. This seems to be a consequence of the more effective filtering ability of this filter. This hasn't been a problem so far, but we will see if this decrease in air flow is sufficient to reduce the effectiveness of the A/C system when the weather gets hot again.

This review is from: FRAM CF10132 Fresh Breeze Cabin Air Filter (Misc.)
Yes I have a Smart ForTwo and yes this filter fits. Perfect really and at a savings of about $40 per filter. I have no idea what the dealer would charge to install it, but it couldn't be easier to do yourself. Check Eviloution.co.uk for how to details.
