Default Mechanical Key

Probably a lame question, but how do you pull out a mechanical key out of the fob?

I'm assuming both key fobs have mechanical keys in them, but for the love of the Lexus gods, I can't figure out how to pull it out.

Someone cares to demonstrate?

There's a button on the side of the fob that the key is in. Press it down and pull out the key.

Oh, you mean where it says "push"

Hah! The key is in the glove, so I was breaking my nails trying to push and pull little side in the corner, where the RX key had a little lock.

Pulled it out of the glove and voilà- worked like a charm.
Thank you!

you shouldn't even need to pull it out of the glove

once you know where to push, you can push the button with the glove still on

Sorry, I didn't clarify - I pulled it out to locate the "push" button, but you're correct, no need to pull it out of the glove, just have to push it on the bottom side where key is inserted.
