First Surround Sound In A Car?

A little trivia for you fellow enthusiasts.

Who was the first automaker to come out with Dolby Surround Sound and an in-dash CD changer? Also, what year was it?

This was something I came across over the weekend and was quite surprised.

Don't confuse dolby surround with dolby digital 5.1. Dolby Surround is analog while Dolby Digital 5.1 is digital.

1998 is dolby digital so should be before that
