Alright, I assumed so as one of the connectors looked for the mic they included and just assumed the other ones gotta be generic. Figured worst case the easiest part is dropping that dome light and dealing with it later. That A pillar and running the mic cable was definitely the worst part of the install. Aside from realizing that my shift knob was in the way, having to youtube how to put the car in neutral with the battery off.

Now I'm stuck on the wiring for the back of the CIC. Somehow my carplay box input is a female connection to female connection on the CIC... Not sure what I did wrong there so back to reading posts as I swear in my readings someone else has mentioned this.
Someone mentioned they got the wrong cable in their package. I don't know if they ever resolved it?

Did you try all possible configurations? One end needs to connect to your existing LVDS cable I don't recall which ends were male vs female.
