Freestyle Cabin Air Filter for sale by jethrojackson

I see that a "Freestyle Cabin Air Filter" is for sale at fordaccessories.com for $25.95
On another site someone made the following observation in regards to where a cabin filter might go:
 
"On the FS, open the glovebox all the way, then squeeze the sides together to let it flop open completely. You'll see the HVAC fan right there, look at the top of it and you'll see a rectangle molded in the plastic, I'm thinking that is where the filter would go. Canadian literature I've found seems to indicate there is a filter on those cars. maybe they have an access panel there instead of the blanking panel."
 
I know the Cabin Air Filter has been discussed previously. Has anyone determined if indeed it is possible to add a cabin air filter and if the filter mentioned above is the correct one?
 
Thanks!

CHANGE IT NOW! In the old days you would change the first oil at 1,000 after the engins was broken in. It is good to change your first oil sooner. Change it the second time at 5,000 and keep the recomended schedule after that.

Oil changes at every 5,000. CVT ate every 60,000.
The engine uses 5W-20 - that's new for me!
Did you know that the same engine is used in the Jaguar S type?

There is actually a very spirited debate on the synthetic oil forum. Synthetic oil last a lot more than 10,000

Where? I don't see one, nor do I see one for the Five Hundred.
 
I do see one for the FreeSTAR, though.

I just looked and they've taken it off the Freestyle section. It was definitely there. I sent them two e-mails inquiring about the filter. They never responded to my inquires but took it off the site instead. Interesting way to run a business. It was slightly triangular in shape and sold for $25.95

Maybe they had simply put it in the wrong place (confusing Freestar with Freestyle)?
 
Here's a link to the Freestar cabin air filter:

That looks very similar to the picture they had up for the supposed "Freestyle" filter. When I saw the filter up there it gave hope to the possibility that perhaps the housing was there and that all one had to do was buy the filter and they'd be in business.
 
By the way, have you bought any thing from those folks. I'm a little hesitant to buy stuff from folks who never return e-mail inquires. I've e-mailed them twice over the past week about the filter and never heard back. Now, I see they've pulled the filter but still no e-mail. Leads me to believe that their customer service isn't quite up to par.

Mystery solved.

At least they're honest . . . just slow.
