The factory OBD II port is held in place with two clips that are easily depressed from the cabin-side. I did it with my fingers. Once depressed, you can remove the OBD II port from the rear and gain access. That access looks like this:
The cheap cover may be recommended with the hidden port, to protect the pins from being shorted out. This depends on where you relocated the port.
