Musty smell from A/C - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

So my car is always parked in my garage, but every time I start her up, I get a weird musty smell coming straight from the a/c. It's strong at first but then it goes away. Has this been addressed?

Run your vents for a few minutes before you're arriving at your destination with the outside vents open and ac off.. What your smelling is the condensation buildup in the vents from running your ac prior and it sitting in there.
