Rotten egg smell is generally a sign of the cats starting to go, so if you cant identify anything to do with the heating and the air coming through the vents, then see if you can smell anything whist walking round the car with the engine running.  Worth a check on thier condition anyway.

this could also be battery related.

if acid is leaking from batt its reaction with the metal and the other chemicals in it can also make it smell like that :)
