Default USB in c6 console question

I will be installing a new kenwood head unit in 2012gs with factory nav/bose and would like to keep the existing usb port in tjhe console if possible

the kenwood has 2 usb connections grey and black, one for android and one for apple ?? not clear on this yet, stereo arrives tomorrow

after searching the forum, I have seem most folks just replace cig lighter with new usb port or put usb wire in glove box.

one post said to connect new kenwood to old usb wire going to console buy this adapter

it is usb A standard male to usb mini B male

but another post said we need a USB A standard male to USB mini A not B

has anyone connected a new head unit to the current usb wiring going to console ? if so how

new stereo has wireless android auto so dont want to be pluging in wire to dash where cig lighter is now

thanks for any advise

Tom, check out this thread for more info, but there are 2 options for retaining your factory USB. Starting with post 11 and then my post at 12.

I can vouch that IS the correct cable... don't ask me how I know... also both usb cable will work with android but only one will let you mirror your phone..
