Easiest thing in the world. Remove the key from the fob, stick a penny between the two halves & twist. Pops right off.

You got stranded? You know that if you hold the remote on the Start button and push, even with a dead remote, the car will start.

You don't even need a penny, I was stuck after going dragonboating with a low battery, so I just used the regular key and jammed that in the gap and twisted it to open it. Might damage the key over repeated use...but key stronger than plastic..

Exactly--it's designed so that the tip of mechanical key that slides out fits exactly in that slot--and you can't access the slot unless you pull out the mechanical key anyway.
