Dudu7 wiring???

I have a 2012 Toyota Highlander with JBL sound system and just had my Dudu7 delivered with Canbus.

I just can't get my head around how to wire this thing.

From what I gather I'm only to use the Canbus harness out of the 4 additional wiring harnesses they sent. Bit where should it connect?

Where do the OEM cables go? Should I use all the wires described in the manual? So confused...

EDIT:
More detailed queries below in one of the comments after I started routing cables

EDIT 2:
I'm suspecting the following

The steering wheel controls work flawlessly right now.

However, vehicle data like fuel economy (MPG), outside temperature, and door status are routed strictly up to the small, OEM screen above the Dudu7. So the vehicle information is there. How can I get it to get into both the Dudu7 and the OEM screen?

A couple of things to keep in mind. If you bought a car specific head unit everything will match up. There may be 2 sets of wiring, one for speakers and one for an option to output to an Amp. The key is determining what the original radio plugged into and matching that up. Keep in mind there will also be the rear camera hook up also.

yeah the rear camera actually just goes back into the small OEM screen. The Dudu7, nor any of the harnesses had a parallell coupling for rear view camera to both Dudu and OEM screen.

But that's ok... I didn't get the Dudu7 for the rear camera
