I am still debating between the Pac, RF, and Forscan for me because I don't want to cut wires either and haven't found a good, and CHEAP, harness.
This is the only harness that I have been able to find and I don't know if it works with the sony and/or if they will sell just the harness.

Cheap, easy, no hacking of the factory harness.

That harness looks like it has everything. Unfortunately it looks like it doesn't work with 2015 and up ;(.
Only aversions to DSR1 are $$$ and the buggy software. Since I am bringing parts from my previous build I don't really want to buy another piece if not necessary. This looks pretty simple actually since I already have the forscan setup, may need to just bite the bullet and refabricate the factory harness. :/ .

The F02 is the harness for 2015 and up. I have it installed in my truck with the DSR1. It is completely plug and play. I did not solder or heatshrink a single wire on the factory harness. The DSR1 did have its problems but it has been improved significantly. I would say it is problem free with the update released 03/12/18. As far as money, in my opinion, the DSR1 is the most affordable factory integration/dsp unit you can buy.

There is a third option from Metra; I have it on the way. I've linked an article to the harness and another article that covers a few "before the amplifier" solutions.

If anybody has tried this, please post your thoughts. Otherwise, I'll report back. At the moment, it will be used as a fancy two channel LOC powering a JLHD750/1 w/ two 12TW3-D4s. Eventually I'll add another JL 4 channel amp, replace the door speakers, and utilize the built-in DSP functionality.

Bump...installed the Metra Access piece on a 17 Sony...it works.

Currently using it as a fancy LOC since I'm only using the sub outputs of the 6 RCAs, but the ability to bluetooth to the unit is nice and the output is much cleaner vs the PAC LOC (still installed for signal sense remote turn-on to avoid running a new wire). All chimes, sensors, bluetooth etc. tested and confirmed to function normally, with the added bonus of being able to adjust their volume.

Install wasn't bad- the Ford harness is a must-have. I'll keep it as-is for now, but I"m postured for a 4 channel amp/door upgrade should I decide later on.

I left the DSP flat for the front/rears since the harness is looped for sub only configuration and the Sony is still in play, but I'm able to adjust gain/X-over settings for the subs from my iPhone.

The FO2 harness works perfectly with the 15's-up. Also I felt the same as you about the DSR1 but after their last update this thing is awesome. I wouldn't have done this any other way.
