They told me the same thing when I started researching adding the intrusion sensor built into the overhead console.....and I have an XLT 302a. Pretty sure I am the 1st, maybe only XLT with the intrusion sensor. 
The 502 harness makes it easier but im sure it can still be done. Its just a good deal more difficult because of having to pull new wire and repin the BCM at the harness for the missing wire...and the MS CAN + -but then if one is truly determined, the dashboard in these trucks is fairly easy to remove, pull the dash harness, install a 502a harness and call it a day...lol

Haven't had too much time to start a write up just yet, but I am/did document the whole thing. Cleaning up my harness that I made so it looks oem. I promise I'll get around to it. lol
It's coming. Have a few other higher trim features that I'm getting ready to dig into.

I am not certain about the modifications. However, I have the 360 degree camera and it is a waste of money. The resolution is poor and it provides very little benefit. The front mounted camera is useful spotting cars especially trailer hitches when parking and pulling out from blind intersections.
I don't know if the op has a 15 or 16 but Coastal-Etech has a lockpick that will allow you to add a front camera to the existing system. Maybe somewhat easier/cheaper that going the 360 route.

Nevermind, I see the op has a 16

Not sure if anyone would be interested, but I do plan to create a wiring harness for a 360 camera retrofit. This would connect your left, right, and front camera to your IPBM. You would have to source the new camera mirrors, stock grill w/ camera cutout, front camera, new IPBM for 360 camera(two ports) and then the OEM new door harness and front camera harness. Other than that this would get you rolling and I think you can get a 360 retrofit camera system (OEM) installed for under 1k if you get some used items from ebay in good condition. PM me if you're interested, but I can build a harness that is OEM spec.

my 502A is not prewired to accept the 360 OEM camera parts. I created the harness last night that connects both new camera mirrors to the IPBM and front camera harness though. I have to change out my front door wiring harness, install the new IPBM, front camera, and new grill, but I should have it done by end of this year when all my parts arrive from ebay/Tasca. If anyone has any questions on how to do this, just message me. I can build you the harness as well if needed (looks completely OEM) @Magnetic157

lol, maybe, but I am all in right now for about $790 bucks and will finish around $900 for everything, so I think it is a good deal, but it is a lot of work to your point @5pointyote
