Would AVIC Z2 be the best fit for me?

Im new to the in-dash DVD/NAV systems and would like some help. Im been doing alot of searching the Z2 seems great because of the internal memory but it is very pricey...is there another unit out there that will do what I want thats cheaper?

These are what I want out of the a DVD/NAV system if I get it and also a few questions.

1. I want to be able to hook up my sirius radio which I alread have in my factory radio(2007 f150). Can I use the existing antenna?

2. I DONT want the navigation to be ran by a CD...I want it to be stored internaly.

3. I would like it to rip my CD's to its memory. Im not an ipod guy so I would like this feature.

4. I would like to run a camera in the back...which one works the best?

5. I would like to be able to make my own wallpapers.

So as far as extra accssories go, I would most like only be adding. Sirius radio and a camera.

Any help would be great...Like I said, I new to this and trying to gather some info.

I have the Z2 and have done the following so far;

1. Connected 2 rear Alpine Monitor
2. Stored Music CD in Hard Drive
3. Connected a Boyo VTL-300 Backup Camera ( Excellent Camera for Day or Night)

Things that can still be added;

1. Another A/V Input ( maybe connect a PS2 )
2. Audio Output ( Maybe add a subwoofer )

The only thing i am not sure about is if we can connect the Sirius Radio that came with the Truck.

Yes/No. You can use the antenna but will have to buy the SIR-PNR2.

Feel like parting with some screens....
