It depends on the manufacture date of your car and which stereo you have. There are some differences between the year models, and a couple of changes were made in the '08.5 half year refresh, including disabling the ability to unlock the trip computer.
From '06-'07 all of the Mazda stereos had the capability built in to unlock that feature, and it was just only enabled on GT model cars. Thus the button trick to turn it on. In '08 I believe it could only be enabled on the 6CD stereos. In '08.5 Mazda actually made multiple different stereos, some with the DIS feature, and some without it. At that point it couldn't be turned on because there was nothing to turn on.
Looking at your picture I'm guessing you have a '08.5 (piano black trim), and you also lack the 6CD stereo so it doesn't look like you'll be able to enable this to work.
