Not sure how you remove it but a word of warning if you do. The diagnostics are on the same circuit as the lighter and if you short anything out, it blows the circuit. End result, no stored codes and no history of how the car has been running come the next service.... I know as years ago my mobile phone charger shorted against the seat frame...!
