Per Special Tool Service Bulletin 006/96, issued 11/21/96, your dealer should currently have two reprogrammable New Generation Star (NGS) cards. One card contains an older Version 2.02 (P/N 49TO-88-010C) and the other card contains your most current Version 3.0 (P/N 49-TO-88-010D).
Your most current Version 3.0 has been superseded to Version 4.0 (P/N 49TO-88-010E). It includes new 1998 service information. This new version is a Mazda Required Tool (MRT) since it is used with the NGS tester to properly service MAZDA vehicles.
