The AXX13-XSVI-5524 -NAV does have the correct connector in it, but comes with the extra box/ converter. The problem is I don't think either one is fully populated. J think the XSVI has more but still not all 24 PC.

I'm feeling pretty confident the connector will work, the 1st Metra connector comes fully populated.
Ford don't use every single pin or wire in the oem connector, and why would Metra fully populate one connector and not the other? I just don't see that happening.
A good example from Ford is the connector for the 4.2" screen, oem it has 4 wires, but if you buy the Ford replacement it comes completely populated with 12 pins/wires as seen below.

I ordered 2 of the AX-AVXSVI-FD. This one supposedly has more data wires in it than the 70-5524. I also ordered one of the 70-5524 as well. I will know in a few days if its going to work or not.

Sure hope it works for you. I am just going off of what Metra tech support is telling me. I actually looked a little closer at my truck today. I do not have the Molex door plugs. Mine is just a rubber boot. I may pull factory wire from there back to the amp and run new wire to each speaker.
As far as running a LOC, I have heard too many people getting interference noise with them. That is why I am trying to use speaker level inputs. Yes I know it would be easier to splice in, but several years of technician experience tells me to never cut factory harnesses unless you absolutely have to....

Update on the AXX13-XSVI-5524 -NAV does not populate the entire connector hopefully the other one does, if not then time to locate some pins that fit and populate the connector with the missing wires if actually needed.
