The aFe 35-10003C is an activated-carbon cabin air filter from aFe POWER, built to clean the air that enters the ventilation system by trapping dust, soot and pollen. The manufacturer says the media contains activated carbon granules to help reduce odors and fumes. A particle-only paper filter stops the dust but does little for the smells that drift in from traffic, so the carbon layer is the reason to pay more than a basic replacement. The manufacturer also lists the filter with a coupler included, and it does not require a CARB EO number.
The manufacturer lists this filter for various Jaguar 16-25, Land Rover 14-24, Subaru 10-19, and Lexus/Toyota 04-23 applications. Year and model coverage differs between listings, so confirm the fit by VIN before ordering. Owners on user forums describe the Subaru Outback cabin filter as sitting behind the passenger-side glove box. The job is a short DIY swap for a cabin filter that is often overlooked on Land Rover, Lexus and Toyota trucks and SUVs. Searches for activated carbon cabin filter upgrade, Subaru Outback glovebox cabin filter, and Land Rover odor-reducing cabin air filter all point to this part.

On a Subaru Outback, owners on user forums describe the swap as a basic job that takes about 10 minutes with a flathead screwdriver and needle-nose pliers. Empty the glove box, unhook the press-fit damper on the passenger side, and squeeze the glove box stops to let it drop. Clean the housing before seating the new element so debris does not reach the blower or evaporator. Check the airflow direction on the media before you install it. Confirm the fit by VIN first, because listings differ on model years.
