The xB does not come with a cabin air filter, you should install one. I did it on mine and the interior / dash stays very clean. The compartment is behind the glove box, you should remove it first, you will find a small box to place the cabin / polen filter. You can buy it at your dealer or just purchase a larger home filter and cut it to size. I got this tip from scionlife.com

Replying to: mikki1 (Jan 17, 2006 10:08 am) there is a interior spray shampoo that i can find at pepboys and auto zone called "tuff stuff:. it comes in a yellow and red can and works really good, also smells like "simple green". as always - do a spot test first, but it is what i have been using for a couple years now.
#65 of 149 Different Dealers = Different Recommended Maintenance by axiomowner Feb 20, 2006 (7:34 am)
I'm lucky to have 3 Scion delears in my area. I'll be due for the 15K miles service soon. (Bought my tC in 9/04).   I noticed that each of the 3 dealers define the 15K service differently. You guessed it, 2 of the 3 are adding pricey services that aren't listed in the service manual for the 15K service.   I recommend everyone check their service manual and make an informed decision regarding maintenance. At least pure pricing allows easy cross-comparison. Replies to this message: driley99 (Mar 20, 2006 4:25 pm) sighon6 (Apr 22, 2006 1:11 pm) sighon6 (Apr 22, 2006 1:17 pm)
#66 of 149 To purchase extended warranty or not? Xa 2006 by time123 Feb 21, 2006 (10:37 am)
Any opinion about whether the extended warranty is worth the money? Aren't Toyota reliable enough that there isn't much in the way of repair costs up to 100,000? Appreciate any thoughts about this. Replies to this message: unixfag (Feb 21, 2006 12:17 pm) cdbva (Apr 08, 2006 6:43 pm)

Replying to: time123 (Feb 21, 2006 10:37 am) I purchased the warranty with the understanding that what you don't use, is refundable.

Replying to: axiomowner (Feb 20, 2006 7:34 am) I called for my xA 15K, and dealer wanted $300 for oil change and inspections. I took it to my non-dealer mechanic and got the service recommended in manual for MUCH less AND they fixed a slow leak (nail in tire) I'd had since almost new, which missed dealers notice on the 5K and 10K tire rotations.   I would prefer a Scion rep did the work, but I was not prepared to spend that much at 15K.   The manual both says that you can get maintenance work outside of dealership, but it also says somewhere else that it "may" not void warranty. What this means, I hope I don't have to find out.   Anyone else who does there own work or gets it elsewhere? How does dealer respond to warranty afterwards?
