I hope your music has been loaded onto your ipod in full bandwidth.
As a self-proclaimed audiophile, I hate my Ipod as far as sound quality, but it definitely is convenient.

If you are a DYI guy, its possible. As always, I prefer professional installation, making $2k a tough price point.

Although speaker upgrades are a must, the HU may perform up to snuff if the right interface is used.

I am not a huge fan of BSW. although they are decent for the DYI guy, there are other alternatives for the same or less money that will outperform them. BSW makes it a drop-in installation, where other equipment may require some fabrication abilities, or more advanced installation techniques.
I'll throw out a recommendation below.

Yes, but is your $2k budget going to cover this too?
