You'll need the key to insert into the lock on the door handle. There's no other way to open it without causing damage.

Jack up the car enough to get under it. Locate your starter. Use a battery charger one cable grounded good. Put a jumper wire into the positive charger clip. BEING VERY CAREFUL touch the jumper wire to the positive on the starter while holding the fob to unlock and bam...it will unlock. Depending what type of charger you have set at 10 amp. You might think about getting a better battery. Lol
