Help!

So the crappy remote start system in my new coupe is not responding to anything I do. The light on the antenna that's mounted at the top of the windshield isn't blinking like normal and the remotes aren't doing anything. At all.. Neither are the keys for that matter. I was under the impression that the keys for the ignition worked in the doors as well on Camrys, like they do on our 2011. I refuse to break a window on that car since I'd be exceptionally hard-pressed to get another one, and a locksmith is far too expensive; what should I do? Help!

I figured that maybe the door handles had been replaced, but even trying it in the trunk did nothing. I'm at a total loss right now. :/

wire coat hanger un do it and make a hook at the end and cover the hook with duct tape, slip a flat head screw driver with duct tape on the end on the corner of the door wedge it so you have enough that you can pry the door open to get the coat hanger in and open the lock

or
