Fiat 500 - Cabin Air Filter Replacement - 2012-2019

How I replaced the Cabin Air Filter (AC Air Conditioner Filter) on a 2015 Fiat 500 Electric, which is the same procedure fo al1 2012-2019 Fiat 500 model years.
Dealers and some auto shops charge a crazy amount for this service up to $80! You can get the filter on Amazon for like $15, and install it in about a minute.

Great video. There were a few other things that I found out as I went:
1) a T-20 torx works on that first screw.
2) There is a little slot in the plugs that hold the bottom panel on. Put a flat blade screwedriver in the slot, and twist - the pin will pop out, then the panel can be removed easily. It's possible to use a fingernail to do that, too. Don't try to pry the whole plug off without popping the pin out, that's wasted effort.
3) To release the black connector, there's a tab to squeeze on the back. To release the white connector, there's a tab to squeeze on the front.
4) A 7/32" socket works on the screws for the cover if you don't have 5.5 mm.
5) No kidding, the filter needs to be scrunched to get it out and get the replacement in! Remember that the pleats run vertical, and that the airflow arrow points towards the back of the car.
