RCD 310 to aftermarket head unit - help!

Hey everyone - first post! I'm looking to replace my RCD310 with an aftermarket unit like the Sony XAV-AX3005DB and just had a few questions if anyone doesn't mind helping!

1. Is this a simple job to do?
2. What happens to the touch phone kit? Will it continue working or will I have to remove it
3. Do I need a Canbus adapter/other cabling to fit it?
4. Will this affect the aux in input that's already in the car
5. The Sony XAV-AX3005DB has an input for a reversing camera which I don't have - but I'm assuming this won't affect the reversing sensors?

Sorry - I know some of these questions are simple but I thought I'd ask to be safe! Thanks in advance guys.

Can't comment on the Sony but I fitted this recently

It was straightforward and all cables supplied. Had to route new microphone cable up to door post for phone connectivity.
