Main requirement is a large touch screen, no or minimal lag, reads mp3 off a CD/DVD, navigation and rear view camera. I use an android so if there is some type of compatibility, great, if not, no biggie.

I'm not looking to spend too much on this, less than $1000, preferably closer to $500.

Any advice?

How much should I expect to pay for installation?
On the cheap? Buy an infinity kappa tweeter/door speaker combo. As for the head unit, I have a Pioneer AVIC-Z140BH and I love it. I think they're down to around $700 but you can get the XBT for a lot cheaper (sans DVD playback) but both come with nav. If you want XM there's a (cheap) separate module.

If you want to keep going, I installed an alpine 4 channel amp under the passenger seat and ran lines to a small pioneer sub in the back just to fill out the sound. Entire setup cost me less than $1500 but a friend and I installed it.

If you have it done at a shop and you don't buy the parts from them, expect 400-600 in install costs depending on the complexity of the setup.

Edit: If you need links to prices, i can pull up my old amazon shopping cart but it shouldn't be hard.
