I can't remember the model number, but I've seen a couple of Sony 5" in car monitors that came as part of a combined TV/stereo/navigation system in some early 90s Japanese luxury cars.

These were definitely branded Sony around the CRT bezel, as were the rest of the components. I don't know if they were a factory option or an aftermarket system. The monitor was in a double din case with various push buttons around the edges. Everything else was in multiple units that mounted in the trunk - CD stacker, TV tuner/video switcher (the in dash monitor had only a RGB input), navigation (with it's own cd stacker for map CDs) and several amplifiers.

I've seen a couple of these setups (only one complete) come to auction, but they've gone for more than I wanted to spend just to play with the monitor.

I've never opened a Trinitron and found anything but a Sony CRT. I do have a 2004ish last-gasp (at least for those sold here) 14" that I haven't needed to open - I'll have to check it.
