Oh I did call Allstate and they said that it's only covered when you have the optional Sound System Coverage, I honestly didn't even know existed. I thought maybe since Mitsubishi signed me up for full coverage with Allstate that this would have been added, but it wasn't
 
Don't you mean your dealer signed you up? (Not Mitsubishi) I would still call the Mitsubishi zone/area management and complain about being told the the repair level is the whole unit. They should confirm the dealer is giving it to you straight and then do better as a good faith gesture or I'd tell them you're not likely to be a repeat customer with service replacement policies being the whole unit.

Is their an adapter so you will be able to keep the steering wheel controls for the radio after changing to an after market nav.I looked for one but was told that they don't make one for the outlander,

Without getting into the ugly details, I ended up with a Kenwood navigation system in my Outlander due to a dealer mistake at the time of sale. At first, I wasn't happy to be "stuck" with an aftermarket product but in reality, I've had much better performance/options available compared to the OEM unit.
 
Any double din navigation system will fit perfectly. In fact, you can recycle some of the parts from the OEM unit during the installation (which was done on my Outlander). The installer can use an interface adapter to make your steering wheel controls work 100%. The only thing I lost was the use of the Bluetooth controls.
 
Oh, by the way, make sure you install either an iPod adapter at the time of the installation or ask for an auxiliary cable to be added. I have satellite radio available but I found the monthly fee silly when I listen to my own music player way more.

Mind made up... by prsolnyc

OK well I have made up my mind and decided that I'm going to purchase the JVC KW-NX7000 and some of it's optional features. I will most likely buy it online somewhere.
 
Now all I need to do is find me an installer that is capable of handling this install.
 
I live in Bronx NY but would be willing to travel up to an hour to find a good installer.
 
Do any of you have any suggestions or recommendations? I would greatly appreciate this as I am trying to get this done as soon as this weekend if possible.
 
Thanks in advance.

The JVC unit comes with only 80 watt amplifier (20 watt x 4). The original Outlander RF amplifier is 650 watt. So you'd have a significant loss of sound quality going with JVC. Subwoofer alone needs at least 100 watt. JVC also supports only 4 channel output, while Outlander comes with 7 speakers meaning 3 speakers will be dead unless you purchase an additional amplifier.
 
btw at Amazon you can get the JVC for $810.

The Crutchfield web site has car GPS compatibility wizard:
 
http://www.crutchfield.com/S-WW8dUJzT4pv/app/car/mycar.aspx
 
It suggests that only these four units compatible:
Dual XDVDN8190, JVC KD-NX5000, Pioneer AVIC-N4, Kenwood KVT-512 in-dash DVD player + KNA-G510 nav.

Wow.. thanks for the heads up chelentano! Do you know if there is any way I can maybe add any kind of component in the mix between the JVC head unit and my RF audio system in order to make it compatible with my speakers/amp? Excuse my question if it makes no sense. I'm really new to all of this.

My guess is that RF is all-in-one unit: GPS/DVD/Sirius/HD/amplifier. But you probably can get one of these aftermarket units and add additional amplifier.
 
Looking at Outlander audio system specs again I found that it actually comes with 9 speakers total.
 
You might want to browse through this Lancer Audio & Security site, to get better idea of what possible. Guys there seem to know a lot about this stuff:
