It must unplug, there is a bypass harness available to bypass the amp, and it just plugs into the input and output connectors on the amp. (But I've never tried to unplug mine either).
Good luck

Picture of 02-05 bypass cable, may help with connectors.





I got them out but i had to really yank on those suckers even with the hold down tab released!

Now i ordered a used Amp and just waiting for it to show up.
