Do you use your AC? I've been told to turn off the AC and set it to vent outside air for a mile or so before
you're going to park your car and let the ducts aclimate to the outside air and you don't get condensation
buildup and that's where the musty smell usually comes from, condensation.

My thought exactly! Leaves and general schmutz can clog the AC drain line and cause the car to have a distinctly funky smell inside.Quote

Number one I would check is if the drain line for the AC is plugged. I had water sloshing around in one car and it started stinking.
Another good suggestion.Quote

If it does not have a filter to change, some mechanics have special cleaning/disinfection foam that fills the interior of the heater/AC and then drains.

Which is like putting on cologne when you haven't bathed in a week: The best you can hope for is that it will mask the problem; It will not solve the problem at it's source.Quote

At your local grocery store, drug store, and megamart you can buy these little deodorant buttons that clip onto the vent blades.
