For those ballers on a budget (like myself), I ended up piecing everything together for $500 for a total "PnP package" - no pigtails or hacking wires. That also includes the FORScan cable. The cheapest screen I could find is when I went searching for the Escape screens. When I would search for other models the price would jump $150-300 easily.
I can post my spreadsheet with part numbers if anyone is interested but currently waiting on delivery for everything. Hoping that since I have a 2014 my front camera will still work based on the information and findings posted already in this thread.
Also, there is a guy on the Fusion boards who can program the APIM for a decent price. I may go that route if I totally ***** it up.
I just can't justify the $600+ cost for programming. Especially when there are other folks who are doing the same for less than $100. I'm sure you are also paying for QA and the company's time for testing everything to make sure it functions before it gets to you and their support, but I'm just a cheapskateI'm not going to piece my Sync3 together. Going to bite the bullet and order from Infotainment.com. They'll program the unit to my Vin 2013 and go from there. Will keep you updated if I am successful.

Awesome! Appreciate for your input and I hope to have the same luck to confirm 2014 is fine for the front camera. Hoping the weather gets warmer in these next few weeks so I can tackle it.The camera on my 2014 still worked after the Sync 3 install. As for the programming, it really doesn’t take long with Forscan as there aren’t that many lines in the APIM to program. I used the values that @rkneeshaw posted earlier in this thread (with two exceptions - 1) bypassing the navigation in motion lockout and 2) switching the splash screen to the Raptor screen) and had no issues.
