Anyone had any experience with Mazda Service & Airbag coding

Has anyone had any experience with Mazda Service recoding/reseting an Airbag SAS module?
What I'm wondering is do they have the ability and willingness to recode/reset an SAS module while it's in the car? Or do they insist on the whole process of pulling the dash out and fitting a new module? Obviously there's much more money in it for them if they insist on the latter, but I'm wondering has anyone managed to get a module reset without having to go the expensive and time consuming route.
I know it's possible to reset a module in an MX5 because there are 3rd party company's who can do it here in Australia. My 2001 NB needs to be done by Mazda because I need to show the paperwork from Mazda to the RTA for registration purposes. They won't accept anything less. Really hoping to avoid the expensive route....
