2013 FPIU
Just drove my 2013 FPIU cross-country, which meant running the A/C on max for several days straight in the 120-degree desert. There’s a bit of a foul smell when I first turn on the A/C, which Googling has told me is probably mold from the excessive moisture associated with running it like that. Guy at the dealer told me best way is to run the defrosters and spray some Lysol into the intake for them, and let it cycle through to kill everything. Does anyone know where a good place to spray some Lysol into the HVAC system is? Thanks!
 






Passenger side floor board is where the return intake for the blower is located.

Fresh air intake is outside under the cowl panel just below the windshield.

You might also consider replacing your cabin air filter if you have one.
