Help me find my Head Unit

In the next couple of weeks I will be doing the Nexus 7 install. The problem i'm having is that i'd like to retain easy control over the volume/radio station as well as have a rear view camera.

The easiest solution would be to put the actual head unit in the lower cubby just in front of the shifter. The problem there is I don't want to have to cut the support bracket like others have done.

My solution would be to find a HU that has a removable face plate and just put the face plate down there while the "brain" sits behind the tablet. I've read up on relocating face plates, it doesn't look too tricky but i bought a dirt cheap HU just to practice on.

So on to my original question. I need a HU that has the following:

-Detachable face plate
-Single Din
-Rear audio in(for the tablet)
-Blue tooth(for phone)
-Rear IPOD/USB in
-Reverse camera in(since i've already got the camera hooked up)
-Obviously a screen for the camera

I've found some that have camera in, but the usb/AV is in the front, some with everything but rear audio in, some that just look like death.

I don't have any brand loyalties but i would like something that looks half decent.

JVC used to make an "El Kameleon" series that would actually be about perfect, but I can't find them for sale anywhere. Kenwood makes one right now but the faceplate doesn't come off.

Boss makes a couple that might work but the documentation is terrible and they don't look that great so I have my reservations.

I've found a couple that should work, spec wise, but I found them on those buy in bulk Chinese wholesale places.

I'd like to keep things under about $300 if possible.

THIS is roughly what i'm looking for.
