Looks like they may have addressed this issue...from the JBD website:

"Older JBDs require you to remove the white insert from the factory connector, while newer JBD versions do not. If you are unable to plug the JBD in to the original connector then you likely have an older model and need to follow the steps below to remove the insert. The female connector has a small white insert that you will need to remove to properly mate with the JBD PnP connector. To do this use a small screwdriver to pry up the small retaining clip in the front and then twist the screwdriver between the base of the white insert and connector on the back to push it upwards. The clip can be reinstalled later by pushing it back on the connector."

Looks to be a reasonable price for the chip - good "bang for the buck"
