you need an "input" device that allows the nav to "see" the dvd player.
most commonly used "input" device is the "DOM's Nav2go" unit.
I have the "A/V electronics dvd to nav" unit.

of course you will need a dvd player.
then to get the audio, you need to purchase an audio input device such as the Pie x3 or an Isimple.

wire all 3 components together and you are able to watch dvds on your nav.

Q: How do I add DVD/media player support?
A: There are three main parts required to add dvd/media player support: video module, audio module, dvd/media player.

In order to add video input to the factory navigation system, you will need to purchase a video interface. The video interface will provide the video RCA connections. The most popular is Dom's TVandNav2Go module - as known for short as Dom's unit, Dom, Nav2Go and variations thereof. Since he is a vendor on here, you will find group buys here for this module here: Sponsored Sales & Group Buys.

In order to add audio input(s) to the factory head unit, you will need to purchase an audio interface. The audio interface will provide the audio (usually RCA, but can be aux-in) connections. They are outlined in the Audio section of this FAQ. I would recommend Blitzsafe HON/AUX DMX if you don't care for iPod integration, USA Spec PA11-HON2y for iPod + one aux input, or PIE X3 for three aux inputs.

Lastly, is your media device. With the two main modules above you can then incorporate DVD/PS2/XBOX/Carputer/Mediagate to the factory system.

Here are some threads on Dom's TVandNav2Go with DVD players:

Q: I have navi and a video iPod. How do I display videos from my iPod on the navigation screen?
A: With a video module like the TVandNav2Go, adding support for the video iPod is not difficult. Here are some threads that discusses the details:
PIEx3 vs PA11-HON2Y
Rookie basics - IPOD Video thru Navi System
Other iPod Interfaces: DLO Homedock Deluxe and Griffin TuneCenter

the dvd player, you're gonna have to hunt for. I found some on ebay used for 100 dollars. But again, you could use any kind of dvd player. Just need to be creative on the placement of the player.

the pie x3 is 35 bux from amazon....you will need the honda harness which is another 20-30 bucks.
I'm not to sure how much the isimple is, as I dont have an ipod.

and then any misc. parts such as wires, add a fuses, etc.
