Time to freshen my 2003's Audio?

It's been a long while since I checked in here, so I hope you'll forgive me if this is a FAQ.

I'm thinking about an audio refresh for my 2003 Sport with the premium factory system. Here's what I want:

- The audio is already decent. If I can be persuaded that I need new speakers, so be it, but I'm skeptical.

- No nav is required (note link in sig, I still like my RAM mount)

- Bluetooth phone integration, address book desirable

- Good iPod integration: show me what song is playing and let me browse the iPod's mucic collection, not just playlists

- Preserve steering wheel controls, maybe add a phone button to the steering wheel (I've seen this hack somewhere)

- HDradio? I don't know, who cares?

- Preserve the use of those cool FM antennas in the back

Is this a pipe dream? Or can I get what I want without spending a fortune and/or tearing everything up?

TIA!

I'm leaning towards the dnx-7100 from Kenwood. Here is a comparison matrix I've started among the three units I'm considering.
