How do you enter numbers.
I have found the solution:
switch your car in contact
push 1 by 1 the following key
6 - AM - AUTO-M - SEEK^
4 dashes appears
Enter code 4989 by using the select buttons 1-6
press and hold down the AUTO-M and 6 button until GOOD appears.
Now your carradio is from its anti-theft mode back to factory setting

You are a legend.
My old CD / Radio died in my trusty TRIBUTE , but I managed to find a replacement at the wreckers for a fair price (but damn they're hard to remove !)
Then discovered when I hooked it up to my car that this unit had been programmed with a CODE - no chance of guessing it in 3 tries, and eventually got the ERR message
So your solution is priceless
Thanks so much for sharing, from a very grateful fellow Mazda enthusiast
cheers

Mazda vijf autoradio err blokkade uitzetten
My Mazda 5 2007 car radio was blocked ERR I tried everything with codes and pressing buttons but nothing worked. Until I held the round volume/on/off button pressed at the same time as the FM button. Hold for 10 seconds with the ignition key in the ACC position. After 10 seconds the blockage is lifted.

So my 2016 Mazda (with CD player) is exhibiting this issue - I just replaced the OEM battery, so I am assuming something needs to be flashed. 
I've read the entire thread, and most folks do not include their make, model, or year - so I haven't been able to pinpoint the process and codes for a newer CX-5.
Can anyone please summarize the process for a 2016 Mazda CX-5, sold in the US? THANK YOU!
