Replacing head unit with Kenwood

I just bought 2005 911 and it has PCS with Bose audio and mobridge iPod and Bluetooth integration. The whole system works and I like the audio and call quality but interface is straight from eighties, and it has lot of limitations. For example it truncates everything to 99 entries (address book, playlists), etc. Navigtation system has old maps and hard to use. I really want to upgrade it to something modern.

After quick research I found Kenwood DNN770HD which seems to have everything I need.

I had another Kenwood system in my previous car and like them.

I am looking on advice on compatibility and install:

1. Does anybody had experience installing this or similar unit?
2. Would it work with my Bose system? One of installers I consulted was not sure but mentioned that I might need to replace amplifier as well.
3. Would it connect with built in microphone or I would need to install a new one?
4. What parts I need in addition to Kenwood unit itself?

I am located in San Francisco Bay area and if you know a audio shop who is capable of doing this install for me I will appreciate recommendations.

Thanks!
