Yes - just changed mine on my Auris and have gone for one of the enhanced cabin filters. Very similar set up in Toyota models - filter usually behind glove box but if you do a web search for changing the pollen filter, you will probably find something on Youtube or similar.

If your air conditioning is smelling you probably also need to use some cleaner/sanitizer - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/130561516066?limghlpsr=true&hlpv=2&ops=true&viphx=1&hlpht=true&lpid=108&device=c&adtype=pla&crdt=0&ff3=1&ff11=ICEP3.0.0&ff12=67&ff13=80&ff14=108

How are the enhanced filters compared to the normal ones Frosty?

Only fitted it last weekend. They cost about 50% more than the standard cabin air (pollen) filters, but they're supposed to remove up to 25% more pollutants and be more effective at neutralising odours. My partner has asthma, and I'm sometimes affected by mild hayfever, so I'm hoping the enhanced filter will be a bit better.
