Hi all:
Looks like this topic still has some questions from STS owners.
I had my 2006 STS4 in for a tire rotation at 28k and asked the tech to change the engine air filter and cabin air filter. The tech can't find the cabin air filter and calls my dealer. My dealer tells him the STS doesn't have a cabin air filter!
I get the car home and did some poking around, the owner's manual isn't very clear, but the cabin air filter is pretty obvious once you find it.
The vent cover just under the windshield on the passenger side comes off with three 9 mm hex screws. Pull it off and underneath, in back of the battery, is a plastic cabin air filter box. It is removed by pulling sideways on both sides to release the plastic catches.
The cabin air filter slides in vertically. Apparently, you can buy either a plain paper or activated charcoal/paper, which removes odors coming in. Several companies make them, here's a link to Car Stuff, one vendor which carries several different brands and types.
Here are photos. It's easy to do. Hope this helps somebody!:
