Default cant get Flashpro off port?

How do you get the flash pro off the port? for the life of me I can't get it off and I feel like I'm going to rip the port out....

Go to the gym for a month and if that doesn't work ask your girlfriend. J/K

just pull it straight out and if that doesn't work wiggle it a bit but make sure you pull on the connector and not just the cable.

i find if you pull the wider part of the plug it seems to work better. also, i usually get out of the car and pull (with the door open) since i can get a better angle and am not pulling using my wrist.

yes, it's a PITA sometimes.

Hmmm ... I haven't had any problems getting it off, but I think I did break my OBDII port connector while trying to plug it in once. Now I have to be very careful with it so that I don't break it the rest of the way.

Have you tried using a tiny screw driver to separate them?

I finally slayed the beast, with no apparent damage done. Wish there was like some sort of release clip or something. They make getting that thing off harder than actually tuning it -_-
