I think I paid $45 for the card I got from NavKing off ebay. Mazda OEM, it appears. Mazda Toolkit registered it and updated it fine. You have to drive the car 62 (?) miles for it to sync with the car VIN before updating. All functions work fine, including traffic sign display and alerts if exceeding the posted speed limit.
