How can I change my Mazda CX-9 Cabin Air Filter?

Is it where the fusebox is? Or do you need to remove screws? And where does one buy the correct filter?

I bought my cabin filter at the dealer.
The cabin filter is located behind the glove box. Open the glove box - the back of the glove box is a removable panel; there are two latches on the top edge of the back of the glove box; pull them toward you and the panel comes with.
the air box where the cabin filter resides is exposed when the glove box rear panel is removed. There is a plastic latch on the left side of the air box that, when pressed, will release the access panel (again - pull it toward you) to the cabin filter. The filter just pulls out.
Piece of cake.

This is the same filter you will get at the dealer. I used it in my '08. Don't worry about the picture, it is wrong...

2009 Mazda CX9 - Cabin air filter replacement DIY
The dealer told me it cost $80 to change it - parts and labor. I bought mine TYC filter at www.atozautolights.com for $4.08 each. I ordered 3 of them for a total shipping cost of $6.29. As for how to replace it, it takes 2 minutes. Open the glove box, remove the cover, you will see a white rectangular box. Push on the latch on the left side to remove the cover from this white box, then you will see the filter. Here's the link to the pictures: http://www.justanswer.com/questions/22uee-where-is-the-cabin-air-filter-on-a-mazda-cx9. Hope this help save you money.

Dealers suck. And its too bad because they have all the right stuff to build a great brand relationship with the customer, but instead they squeeze and scam every little dime out. Penny-wise, pound foolish.
Following up to this post: ceric - you mention it should be changed @ 10k miles. My manual recommends changing this after 25k miles or 2 yrs. Is it excessive to change it at 10k?
Nope!
I changed mine every 15K miles and it is filthy dirty and ready to be replaced. Why the owner's manual states replacing every 25K miles is insane. For the ease and affordability of changing the filter, I do not think is over kill to do the 10-15K interval and have some nice fresh clean air flowing through the cabin when windows are rolled up.
