Backup camera options for 2011 GT CS

So my 2011 GT CS 6spd with NAV did not come with a backup camera and I want to add one. I'm trying to compare price and quality of the various methods of adding a camera. The methods I've read about are:

Lockpick with video transducer

reprogramming the head unit to run a factory camera.

Anybody have any input on which methods are best and pros and cons?

I have a 2013 GT CS same issue. The factory wiring for the back-up camera is there under the trunk lid carpet. I moved it to the bumper to use a license plate frame camera. I have a friend at Ford who changed the build data on my nav system to one with a back-up camera. From what all I could tell, the only thing that needed changing was on the first line of build info. A D needed changing to a C. However, you will need to re-input ALL 18 lines of build info just to change that one stinking letter. I have the build data info and could send it to you if you decide to go this route. This was the cleanest way to go about this especially without purchasing a $300+ lock pick unit. And yes, everything works like factory.:smile:

So fast forward 8 months and I can't find anyone that can modify code locally. All the dealers shut me down mid way thru the conversation. Any suggestions how to find someone that can edit the build code?
