CAGS Bypass Problem
Has anyone here installed a CAGS bypass on a recently built C6 (like on built in the last 30 days)?
I jacked the car up, put it on stands only to find that the connector is different from the one in the package. The factory connector on my car is smaller, purple (not blue and white), and differs from the pictures I was able to find on the Internet. Long story short, I'm postively sure it doesn't fit.
I called WCC and they hadn't run into this problem yet.
Any ideas?

Mine was built on Jan 31st. I did the bypass with no problem.
Make sure the connector you are disconnecting says "SKIP" taped on it. There are 2 connectors in that area {Z51}.

Yup, I'm an idiot. I went back and jacked the car up even higher so I could slide farther underneath, and spotted the skip shift connector. Doh...
