You need a 12 to 5 volt DC-to-DC converter. These are available in many good electronics stores. Lambda makes a very nice series. Just be sure to get one that is rated at a higher power (watts) than your screen requires. Powering a screen has nothing to do with your car stereo, by the way.

I take it your navigation screen did not come with its own power supply? This is very odd. What kind is it? What sends it a signal, and are you sure it is not powered through this cable?
