there is usually some sort of locking tab that u just pull out, or unclip it to unlock the pins...then u find a unpining tool or a very small flatehead screwdriver and gently push up on the pin tabs to unhook them and pull it out at the same time

hi,
thx

yeah. the round plugs of the headlights harness f.e. work like you're saying.
but i don't know how to unlock these

i opened them on both sides and they look like this plug now



but the pins are still fixed to the plug.
and the hoes on the other side are small

Scroll down to the "ECU & Wiring Tech" part, find the correct OBD and you'll see the pin removal stuff there.

just did this about 20 minutes ago trying to fix my Gdamn VTAK.. anyway it was a bitch, but I used the center copper wire from Coax cable wire, I cut a little piece about an inch long with all the insulation taken off, and you push it in right above where the wire goes into the plug from the side with all the wires coming out.. and pull on the wire at the same time. It took about 10 minutes to get the first one out. I ripped on it pretty good and didnt damage anything, i wouldnt worry too much about breaking anything because you will probably have to wrestle it a bit to figure it out..
