-You or a frequent passenger suffers from allergies
-You or a frequent passenger has other respiratory problems
-You drive your Cadillac XTS on dirt roads or in a excessively dusty location

Thank you, much easier than guessing. I appreciate it very much.

[@PYR-Auto]

You're Welcome! Glad it helped

[@shihabkhalil1971]

Thanks for the video. It helped. Small note: the T25 is not needed and is not required to be removed. This is for the dvd player to attach to the unit which will be removed totally anyway.

[@PYR-Auto]

Good Tip!

[@horacelewis4607]

Easy peazy.... Outstanding and simple directions... Wanted to charge me $203 for a 15 minutes job...

Excellent video. Mine has the CD changer and agree the T-25 torx does not have to be removed.
Also, the airflow out of my vents tripled once I replaced my filter. If you haven't changed yours in a while, don't hesitate! Your A/C cooling and heater performance will have a significant improvement.

Well, I wanted to make the effort and come back to thank you for your video. I'm someone who can't do anything mechanical. I downloaded this video to my desktop and watched it several times and then decided to try my lock on my 2019 XTS. Your instructions are perfect. I was a bit hesitant with the pressure I had to use to pull the section out, but it worked. I'll do this myself in the future instead of paying someone. Thanks so much.

[@PYR-Auto]

You are very welcome! Glad it helped

[@jzotter]

Thanks! Glad they helped

[@russmattern4982]

Excellent video, I was able to follow it each step of the way! Only one comment, the T25 bit was too large for the last screw, I used a T15 and it worked great. Thanks again for sharing your expertise!

So glad I found this before going to the dealer! My air blows very cold but faint though! So hoping this is the problem cuz I'm definitely about to turn into a pretty girl mechanic 😒😕🥴🤷🏾‍♀️🤣😂

[@anthonywilliams9437]

So by changing that filter did the air blow cold

T-25 screw does NOT need to be removed

[@user-mu9ph8xr8d]

My 2013 xts takes a t15 torkx

[@masejaber]

Thanks

[@PYR-Auto]

You're Welcome!

[@jorgecruz3672]

Will this be a reason why my ac wasn’t throwing cold air?

[@PYR-Auto]

A dirty cabin air filter can restrict air flow overall but it generally does not effect the temperature of the air - I think you may have other issues

[@JohnKMazzie]

Thank you for the video. Does the t25 torque screw need to be removed..? From the video, it does not seem to be holding the felt insert into place like the philips head screws are..?

[@PYR-Auto]

I had always removed it but there a few other comments on this video from people that state they actually did NOT have to remove it

[@Ultraderchista]

Thank you bro!!!

[@PYR-Auto]

You're Welcome!

[@Darlak262]

That pull out piece is very tight, I felt like I was going to break it

[@vane1505]

Thank you, I didn't want to pay $80 at the dealership
