I'd definitely suggest trying to enlist help from local S2000 owners, but before reverting to a chain store you may want to look for a locally-owned stereo shop. They usually have better techs and are more willing to do "non-standard" things.
You have a few choices for retaining the dash controls and the shops should be familiar with at least one of them. My suggestion (of course!) is to use the Wired DCI for this head unit since it will give you the speed-controlled-volume and some extra commands that are not available with other products. If you're going to get a shop to install it you should download and print the manual so you can show the tech to get a quote for the install. I would think a straight-forward HU install (like this is) with a DCI should not be more than a 2 hour job.

Well, I went ahead and installed the headunit myself, it was much easier than I thought. I am looking to get the dash controls to work, so I'll be getting the Wired DCI. Modifry, can you confirm that the Wired DCI will work with my headunit, a Sony CDX-GT500? Thanks.
