this is too much fun!!! There is a key in your remote. The little silver part on the remote.

Use the key to pop off the cover next to the door handle on the driver side. You pop it off from underneath.

you guys are just so helpfull


anyway, you can take apart your key fob to pull out a key. this can be inserted in a small area directly on the bottom side of the door handle. ive never tried this before, so be careful to not scratch anything. id suggest to look in your manual, but thats probably in the car. i dont have mine nearby, so hopefully someone else does if you need more help

take the key out of the fob. Look under the door handle and you'll see a slot. Stick the key in and pop the cover off and you'll see the manual lock cylinder
