Airbag Electrical Connector

I have an Audi A4 and need to replace the ignition switch. In order to do that, I need to remove the airbag assembly from the steering wheel. Only 2 Torx bolts hold it in place mechanically so getting it out is no problem. However, on the back is a two-wire yellow and blue (same as the Swedish flag!!) plastic electrical connector. I am guessing (hoping) that Volvo may use the same airbag assembly as Audi and someone out there in Volvoland may be able to tell me how to disconnect this connector. There are several plastic snaps and tabs but I can't seem to disconnect it. I don't want to damage something so I'm trying to proceed with caution here. This particular airbag assembly is made by TRW in Germany. If anyone knows how these things disconnect I would certainly appreciate hearing about it.

By the way, I spend more time repairing my 2000 Audi with 82K miles than I do my wife's 1993 Volvo 940 with 196K miles.
