Don't bother with the marine grade stuff, I use a Sony DSX-S310BTX and love it. It has all the features you want.
Check it out.

I just bought and installed the 310BTX and have an LG G2 Android phone. It took less than 10 seconds to pair the two up.

Hope that helps!

I got the Sony MEX-GS600BT off eBay for $135 shipped. TONS of whistles and bells, probably too many actually. My Android phone pairs automatically when I turn on the bike.
