Thanks! Interestingly I looked at the sites for Mann and Bosch for my model and year ('08) and neither listed a cabin filter application but when I looked up 2009 it showed up and these were the instructions so I am guessing there's just a glitch in the database (hopefully) and not that the '08 takes some special filter.
