Adding Front Camera to XLT
The issues were with lockPick. I tried two different cameras to see if I could improve the image quality. The video would scroll sometimes (even on the oem rear camera). I had the LockPick Air which mirrors your phone screen on the head unit so I am not sure if that made a difference, but the scrolling would happen while viewing hard line cameras. And like I said, the resolution was terrible.
The company that sold it to me was very surprised to hear from the tech that LockPick doesn't support 2015. But I do have to give camera-source.com credit, they gave me a full refund after I used the product for many months.

Question is whats a good camera to match to the lockpick?

My aftermarket front camera broke (had been hooked up to a DVR to function as a dash cam) so I'm troubleshooting that before splicing into other wires. Sorry I don't have any updates, might be able to get to it this weekend but I'm not feeling excited about tearing everything apart again.
So some good news. I tore up the front end to swap a new grill and installed the camera/brackets and new harness. The factory XLT harness has all pins populated and matches 1:1 the new harness. The camera is wired inline with the shutters.
The first picture shows the OE XLT harness below the new Limited harness. Notice the third connector for the camera.
Second picture shows the XLT on the left and its two pins. The right is the Limited harness with all pins populated.
Third camera shows part numbers for the harnesses: BD is XLT, CD is Lariat.
The last picture shows the OE XLT main harness in the engine bay. Compare to the second picture showing the pinouts in the harness, and you can see the harness matches.
I think this might work...

I went through a similar process for my 2015 Lariat 502A. I had the dealer check to see if my truck had the module for the front camera and if I installed a stock front camera could they activate the module. The answer was yes to both questions.

I also bought the small wiring harness labeled 14A411A in the following pic assuming I would have an unused connector in my factory wiring harness at the top of my grill. I should have know since I always tell my kids what happens when you ***-U-ME, because I don't have that connector!!!

Is your part number FL3Z-19H405-A on that module? I am very, very confused because you say you have a 502A, but that same part number appears for the XLT:

And here's a Platinum VIN:

I'll tear up the dash now and confirm. That same part number shows up for a KR with tech package and a Limited.
