I really want to get this mod done. I love music, and it drives me crazy not having an audio input to listen to my music.

But I only know enough about audio design to know I don't know anything. And I do have a budget, but I'm not even sure what this would normally run. I know that there is going to be a pretty wide variety depending on what kinds of options you get, but does anyone know a ballpark figure for what the cost would be to order a pretty good unit and then have it installed by a local shop? Just an idea so I can see about how much to save?

If you can follow directions and are even a tiny bit mechanically inclined, you can do this install yourself. No idea what a shop will charge, but I can imagine it won't be pretty.

Give Dennis a call and let him know your budget and he will see what is in your price range, i know he has a pretty large network of people that can install these.
