Bunch of questions

Have a Ford F150 2011 Ecoboost. Few questions

1. Ive heard if you buy the factory remote start its easy to install but still needs a dealer to active, true or false?

2. Back up camera, can you install this on this truck the factory one if I ordered it. I know all the wiring is probably there.

3. Keyless entry on the door. I see there is one you can put on that looks to be wirless. But there looks to be one thats integrated into the handle, is this easy to plug and play.

only know the remote start answer. I just did it myself. I live in D/FW area and the dealers here vary greatly on the estimated cost of "turning it on". One dealer quoted me 3 hours and acted like he was giving me a deal as they "normally get over $600 for the whole job.... some dont yet seem to know "or just want to play "dumb "that 2011 is plug and play and the IDS is all that is needed to turn it on. Local dealer charged me one hour to turn mine on, but for that price I had them cut and program the keys also "which you can do yourself, but if they are going to charge for it anyway........ Same dealer wanted $500 to do the whole job turn key... I think I still did ok
