My 2005 Roadster has one, why wouldn't your coupe?

You've already received more than enough feedback to convince you that all the Crossfires had a cabin filter. Go out there on the web and find a charcoal version filter. They are everywhere.

Not all Crossfires.
Base models do not have the following:

- no cup holder
- no Homelink
- no "crossfire" name plated stainless steel door sill plates
- no storage net on passenger side footwell
- no storage nets behind both front seats mounted on the bulkhead at the bottom
- no silver cigarette lighter
- no tire pressure monitor
- no aluminum rubber studded pedals
- no power seats
- different seats altogether with adjustable headrests
- no leather seats
- no heated seats
- no 6 speaker 240 watt infinity modulus radio (base just has a 4 speaker stereo with black ***** and no amplifier)
- no fog lights
- no silver trimmed speaker grilles
- no satin silver finish exterior windshield frame, side fender vents and door handles (all black on base)
- no chrome finish on exhaust pipe tips
- no automatic transmission option
- no color option other than black clear coat
- no interior color option other than black cloth
- no gas strut on glove box door (this strut is on the limited creates a slow opening door rather than just dropping open)
- no heated exterior mirrors
- no cabin air filtration system (base just has a simple re-circulation feature)
- no floor mats
- no touring gear (luggage)
- no painted engine cover

Thank you 180, you're a walking encyclopedia, so with that said I guess the next question would be to find out if Jim has a base model. But I'd be willing to bet a six pack of your favorite beverage that he doesn't. I wonder how many base models were even sold in the US?

While I knew about many of the things on the list, I didn't realize (or forgot - I get a case of CRS once in awhile!) that the cabin filter was not included on the base models. By base models, does that include the Special Editions, which were somewhat a go between Base & Limited. Thanks for the correction.

I have searched but have not found the list of Special Editions features, 2006/7, roadster, auto or manual, red with black windshield trim and SRT like wheels, no fog lights that is about as much as I know. Said to be basically an upscale Base model
I may have the specs somewhere though.
Maybe Pizzaguy is the one to ask.

Gentlemen - Again, I thank all of you for your very good input. My coupe is the "Limited" and it has all of the options listed by Mr. 180. I think that the problem I have is a dealer and repair dept that doesn't know anything. If it wasn't for this forum, I'd be in deep doo doo. It's starting to amaze me that my dealer even advertises that they work on "Crossfire's" when they apparently do not know the difference between the base model and the Limited model.

I will look on line for the charcoal filter as suggested and follow the "you-tube" tutorial on changing the filter.

Thanks again, men. You are all very helpful.


Jim
