Does it run a external mic to the unit? I opted to get the wireless CarPlay so it’d be nice if you could run the android unit onto the oem mic.

Mine were both also from Kanor.
The e70 had a middle speaker "in" and "out" IIRC the change is to connect what was the input to the speaker from the car amplifier instead into the android unit. Then connect the speaker output from the android to the car speaker...
That then plays whatever the car would send to its center speaker as a passthrough in most cases to the wiring output that they provide to the cheapo speaker for NAV audio.
So I took stole two of the wires from functions I wasn't using. DVR camera video in 2 or something like that and connected those to the pins that were the middle audio in on the E70.
Here are some pictures from the e70 where we should be able to re-figure it out without me pulling the unit out...
I think the 4x4shop.ca install video of the 70 shows the connection to the center speaker (but just connecting the wires, not the android connector)
Here are the pictures I sent to myself at the time to compare against...
E70 connector tab side
(note the blue stripe is to the inside of the connector (this will change speakeer polarity if you get it backwards)
E70 connector other side
(the glue makes the speaker stripes hard to distinguish so flip it in your mind from the previous pic)
What I think was the middle out wire...
The middle In wire that will have to be added.
E90 connector is missing the middle in. From memory I believe the middle out wire was super long so I cut it off at the right length and added a 2 pin connector to my center channel speaker. I do recommend leaving the crappy one there just for testing, I am not responsible for your speaker.
I can't remember if I had already removed some of the extra wires when I took this which then twisted and put a connector on to connect to the cars line that was going to the speaker. (These were in place of the blue/white and blue wires on the e70)
I think this is enough to deduce it...
