'07 SL 55 Air intake temp sensor

Can anyone tell how to remove it? Just pull out? Hard to see if there are any tabs

Also the new part is different and says interchange on the slip.
Thanks

Press the tabs towards the center and pull upward. If you twist the sensor the tabs will break.

Where is it located and can a simple gauge be parallel wired to the sensor so as to have a live intake temp reading rather than after the fact looking at a log?

It is at the Y pipe portion before the surge tanks.

The gauge will have to be calibrated so the 0-5v signal can be displayed in F.

Why don't you just get a gauge that connects to the OBD2 port and get the IAT readings.
