Per Service Bulletin Cat. ST 001/98, issued 02/23/98, your service department currently has two reprogrammable New Generation Star (NGS) cards, an older Version 4.0 program (P/N 49T0-88-010E) and a current Version 5.0 program (49T0-88-010F). On September 11, 1998, V5.0 will supersede to V6.0 (P/N 49T0-88-010G) as a new Mazda Required Tool (MRT) to properly service MAZDA vehicles.
