So I’m thinking about adding a back up camera to my 13 GT500 and want to know what kits are the least invasive from a wiring perspective? I read about LockPick but they look to be discontinued? Any help appreciated!

The Sync Pro Lockpick works with your 13 and they have the cams and everything you need.
I did the install myself in about 1.5 hours; mounting the cam, running the wires and installing the lockpick. Works great. Just follow the instructions and you will not have any problems.
Good luck

Install I found of someone using that kit.

I'm running front and rear cameras via Sync Lockpick. raustin0017 and Evilcartman's tutorial are spot-on.
Highly recommended.

Guys where are you getting your constant hot for the power behind the radio? I'm running cameras front and back and there is a power wire for each, but there is also a connection requiring constant hot to supply the box/cameras with 12v power. Are you running to fuse box in pass kick or tapping into the hot for the accessory power plug in above the screen between the a/c vents?
My lock pick setup was a plug and play. Don’t remember tapping into any power wires.
Did you add cameras? So if you add cameras you still don't need a 12v constant power to the Lock Pick box? Or is the 12v ONLY if you use the accessory 12c out?
+1.
I like that camera
What did you use?
I’m thinking of doing this and would plan to do exactly as the evilcartman.com link.

My rear setup is identical to Evilcartman's. I went with a comparable Boyo camera in the front. Both were plug & play with the Sync Lockpick of that era. (I'm pretty sure that Lockpick was replaced by a new Pro version, with which I'm not familiar.)
I'm not sure, but I think they still over the standard model and the pro model. Their website isn't the most user friendly and that includes the instructions. I used the standard version in my 2012 and the same rear camera Evilcartman used. I think it works well because going from my F-150 to the Shelby leaves me scratching my head on rear parking jobs without it.
The Ford harness in my 2012 was pretty damn short and pulling the radio forward isn't easy without unplugging everything, which I tried to avoid. Without a bore scope, I wouldn't have known I disconnected the GPS signal wire by accident. After plugging it back in, it all worked as advertised.

What’s the best way to do a backup camera if you don’t have navigation?
I went with this camera and didn't even have to drill a hole in the bumper! I used an existing hole!

Here’s a pic installed. You can barely see it!
Edit—looks good. I want something nondescript from outside that easily ties into stock NAV screen.
