Key is locked in the car

That is not a cheaper option

Thanks--it's a bit quirky.

UPDATE: AAA (US) came and it took an hour but managed to insert a slider in by separating window with air pump. Door opened, key fob obtained with next issue: the car is not responding to the key fob (will obviously replace fob battery to see if that's the problem) so car won't start. Trying to figure out where the electronic fob activator is in the car. Some info says door handle (no), rear cup holder (no). Back to quirky-town but very happy to have the key out of the car....thanks guys.

According to the manual, it is in the center console as Eagle7 stated. Are you getting the "Key not in car" message? If not, you might have something preventing the car from starting not related to the key detection.

Some cars you use the fob to depress the start button when the fob battery is dead.

Tried that, no go

Have you tried a battery disconnect and reconnect? Had to do this a few times on mine prior to a sw update seemingly fixing the issue.

I think you have to place the fob "at the back" of the bottom of the console (see attached). I've done it when unlocking the car with the blade key to turn off the alarm, and it works.
