Default 986 seat belt buckle replacement

Anyone know who to unplug the cable from the seat belt buckle from the wiring harness under the seat ? I got the seat out but cannot seem to remove the blue plug from the harness to install the new buckle.

Honestly that is the least helpful photo I have ever seen. Anything a bit more clear?

Where you able to disconnect the wire harness from the car. If you haven't, there is a slide safety on the side of the plug. Pull it out and the connector will release. To get the actual seat belt harness out there is a small almost square black plastic piece that you slide up and off (I used a screw driver). Once it is off the harness comes right out. Fish the new write through the seat, clip it in place and you are good to go.
