Default How do I remove cargo area 12v plug?

So I have replaced my rear Infinity panel with a sport model sub delete.

I want to swap the 12v plug over to the new panel and can't figure out how to get the stupid thing out.

I have poked, prodded and pryed but can't seem to get the plug out. Anyone remove theirs and have a trick?

Sorry I forgot to mention I twisted. There are some tabs that look like the need to be released but you need to access them through the inside of the plug which is near impossible unless there is a special tool. Maybe a visit to the dealer is in order?

There are probably spring tabs on the outside of the socket, just behind the facia. If you can get to the back side, you should be able to depress the spring tabs and push it through the facia.

You are right, but the inside sleeve needs to come out first to depress the tabs. The sleeve is the problem being it is so small to access.

I've never seen a snap-in device lock in that way. Have you tried depressing the springs with pliers?
