I bought the Mazda version when mine was new (in 89), and it was $26 (I think).
I priced a '90 service manual at the dealer near here (northern Colorado) for
an aquaintance who needed one for road racing, and it was $45, and includes the
wiring diagrams, without which I would not have been able to install my alarm
or my stereo.  The Mazda one is well worth the money.  I haven't seen anybody
elses.
