Short answer: no.

Long answer: if you modify the circuits, rewire everything, buy a bunch of parts. I'm sure you could do it. But you would most definitely not want to. Just get a dvd player and hook it up to your nav LCD. Or just get a new headunit and say.. the new metra kit.

Not sure about using the nav unit but I have a dvd unit that works just fine....the screen on the stock nav is actually really clear too. Sorry I don't have a better pic. Only one on my computer at the moment.

I have a ps2 in my glove box, slim one, fits nicely, and used nav-tv to interface it to the in dash nav.

The nav-tv isn't too expensive and the ps2 works great. I even autocrossed and didn't have it skip.....haha

It's a pain to wire up though, so i would recommend having a professional do it. This is coming from the pros i had install it.
