Installing In-dash TV with stock HU

Is this possible? i want to use the stock CD changer and radio and have the video working also, is this possible? what is require to install?

i got the SONY in-dash LCD monitor. its a single din unit, and i also got the factory gauge mount where the clock would go. I tried everything and there is no fitment issues. I wanted to keep my factory 6-cd changer and use the LCD for other display purposes (later install a PS2 and the HKS CAMP). But for now i just want to use it so it can display simple things like the radio stations and such and work together with the factory cd-changer..

I plan to use the Stock HU for CD's and FM/AM and use the LCD for display/dvd/video purposes. Its seems pretty simple to have wired like that but how about the audio for the LCD? if the speakers are connected to the stock HU in order to provide sound to for the FM/AM and the CD, when im playing the PS2 or a DVD how would that be connected or switched over to get sound form the LCD??? so thought the FM modulator would be a solution.

Here is wat i mean sort of, a quick drawing of what i want to accomplish using MS Paint...will it work like this? and be able to use both the Stock HU for FM/AM Radio + 6-CD changer, and the LCD for PS2/DVDs and HKS CAMP w/o having the stock harness connected to the LCD and only to the Stock HU???

I don't see why that wouldn't work although i can't say i know alot about fm modulators, it seems like that should be fine to me. everything should be the same and then when you wanna hear whats on the lcd you'd just flip it to hte modulator station. yeah, sounds fine.
