Default running 2 HU (stereo and dvd) from car speakers

Hey everyone I have a pretty simple question with possibly a difficult solution or not, I have a pioneer mp3 HU and recently I purchased a clarion 6.5" lcd screen from a friend for an amazing price. My question is if I get a single din dvd/cd player is there a way I can run both my Pioneer mp3 player and dvd player.

Yes you can if your Pioneer HU has an AUX input. Then you can run video from your DVD player directly to the screen and audio through Pioneer's AUX input.

pioneer part cd-rb10 (p-bus to rca adapter)
but why do u need to run two head units?
doesnt the clarion have internal power? every dvd player will play mp3s so you shouldnt be giving up anything to just use the clarion.
