About to get an FN2, here are my plans.

So im about to pick up an 08 CTR GT in Milano Red, however I want to get Bluetooth, USB audio and some form of parking detection in there.
For the audio parts, my first thought was the Parrot MKI9200, but im not a big fan of the fact its a separate thing to stick on the dash and that it uses its own 20w amps. I then moved onto looking at the xcarlink and Denison solutions, which would in the most part be OK but I don't think I would ever be really satisfied with not having the track listing displayed on the screen.
For the parking sensors, i initially thought i could just get the standard Honda ones fitted at a garage, however the best quote i have had so far to be able to get is £399 (which is from the dealer i am getting the car from)
When you add the above things together im looking at £550+ when its all fitted, so i thought it might be worth exploring the idea of fitting a third party double DIN stereo and reversing camera. Might cost me a bit more but it will be a much more complete system.
So from reading MANY threads and how too guides. This is my list of parts so far:
JVC KW AV60BT - £250
Has all the features i think i need plus it has a removable front which is quite useful when visiting friends in Manchester .
Impulse Converter kit - £175
(I guess I will also need a JVC Patch lead, not sure which one but im sure the guy at impulse can sort me out)
One of MrBozo's Cameras from Civinfo - ~£70
I guess this depends on the model and adapters i need.
So the total for all that is about £500 (or have i missed something?)
I don't really think i am going to have the time to fit it all, especially in the summer. How much do you think i should expect to pay to get it fitted and does anyone have any advise on finding someone decent to do the work?
