Doesn't this do the exact opposite, i.e., introduce humidity into the interior?
There have been a lot of complaints of sour smell coming from the aircon ducts right after turning on the A/C, but when the compressor starts cooling the ducts and interior, the smell goes away (or gets masked).
Honda’s Tips on Proper Use of Car Aircon
Summer is officially here! Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. imparts practical tips on proper use and maintenance of car air-conditioning unit to beat the summer heat. The air-conditioning unit is an indispensable item in today’s car especially in a tropical country such as ours.
In new cars, problems hardly ever occur but after a length of time, depending on the working conditions, its efficiency naturally diminishes. So, it is advisable that car owners know how to properly use and maintain the car’s air-con system in order to obtain the longest possible service.
Here are the following suggestions:
* Check the position of the compressor control switch (A/C knob) if it is in the ‘open’ or ‘shut off’ position. One should shut if off before starting the engine. This will avoid unnecessary drag caused by the compressor while cranking the engine.
* Once the engine runs on, switch the fan on first. Blow the air-con’s fan at the highest speed for about a minute in order to clear away the hot air trapped in the air-con’s ducts. Then, depress the A/C knob to turn the compressor on at coolest temperature. The next step is to adjust the fan speed and temperature control switch to the level most comfortable to you.
* Switch off the compressor before cutting off the engine. Keep the fan on at highest speed so that it blows away all humidity trapped inside the evaporator or ‘air-box.’ This will help eliminate the smell of stale air when you subsequently turn on air-con again, and at the same time, to lengthen the service of the evaporator. The process only takes about 2-3 minutes.
Dehumidifiers like the ones in GH's post are effective in minimizing the sour smell, because when I removed mine, despite following the full-blast FANS + compressor OFF tip, the sour smell came back. I believe both are needed to minimize or get rid of the sour smell.

ganyan din ang naging case ng isa naming sasakyan. ang ginawa ko lang eh spray lang ng Lysol. after nun, nawala na. pero kailangan pa rin na palage mong mini-maintain yung sasakyan para hindi na bumalik.
Sensing a hint of weakening on our 6yr old Thai Pana DIN74, went to the distributor to have it...
Which is better? Amaron or Panasonic Battery?
