The problem is, the factory mic vent you see is actually the mic unit itself. The vent doesn't separate from the microphone, it's just one chunky, all in one box.

If you were to do anything it would have to involve the larger square panel next to it.

But then your issue, as has been mentioned a few times in this thread, is that the mic is very directionally sensitive. It needs to be pointing at the driver's mouth, which makes it difficult to conceal it and at the same time have it facing in the right orientation.

Maybe if you're handy with electronics you could work out how to utilise the factory mic, but I had a quick look at it - it has 3 wires going in at the microphone, and no idea where they run to. The Dynavin requires a 3.5mm male jack to plug in, so you'd have to make all that work - and even then the sensitivity and volume may not match.
I epoxy-ed my mic on the plastic plate - look at the pic I posted. You can swivel the mic in whichever direction you want afterwards. I know, once I had it positioned, I never moved it afterwards. Works very well, no issues.
