Most likely it just needs the pin code input. Do you have the original car handbook? Usually the pin code is on a business card in that on most cars I've owned. Not entirely sure on the mx5.
This also belongs in the electrical forum.

Re: radio shows "ERR" after changing battery
If it has the original radio then the pin will be the last four digits on the chassis number.
You only get three go's to type it in correctly.
Happy to flick you a pic from the manual if you don't have yours?

Re: radio shows "ERR" after changing battery
There is some sort of special button sequence that will unlock a locked radio. Had the dealer do it for me once after a service.
A bit like an MX5 konami code
