Sorry about that friend, it must be some sort of result of condensation in the vents causing mold or bacteria to grow. You are definitely going to need to get the Toyota dealer to diagnose the smell and do one of those A/C refresh services, where they spray down the evap coil with a powerful foam that pulls all the gunk and bacteria out of the thing, then flood the vents with a lysol like disinfectant product. Also in a Dezoris, savagegeese review, in one of his videos he mentioned that the under-body aerodynamic panels are sealed and don't allow much airflow for cooling or removal of debris therefore when something gets stuck in there near the headers/exhaust manifold, it will stay there and burn and if you turn on the a/c it might lead to some smell finding its way into the cabin. Best of luck.
