Just an FYI... The tabs are pretty easy to snap off. I've done this before and snapped a tab. The connectors can also be difficult to get out. This area is space constrained so be patient with it.

The video doesn't show exactly how, it took me several hours trying to get that F-N thing out. There are no F-N red tabs as someone mentioned. I had to remove the hood latch to push some wires out of the way and using a mirror to see a little bit.

I used two putty knives, each placed on the red circled tabs and then slip under the unit. No need to insert each knife very far into and under the unit, just enough so that the knives will stay in place as you remove the unit. Push down from the top of the unit with one hand then slowly pull unit toward the passenger side. It will slide out as long as no wires/wire looms are in the way. Be sure you clear the way for the unit to come down and out. I've used this method a few times as I replaced my unit with an Infotainment IO6. Hopefully you are rather small and thin because the fit under the dash and steering wheel is a tight one. Good luck, Bart.

That's it. The box is out!
In fact, a large black cable on the left of the box interfered with the exit and I had to remove the pull tab from the hood (not sure if that was English...) and the ODB socket to push this cable and finally have the box.
thanks to all for the help. Eric
