Unfortunately the way we used to break into these vehicles at the dealership was to brake one of the rear taillamps with a hammer. There will be a hole behind the lamp that you can access the trunk. With a clothes hanger retrieve the keys. Note: make sure to break the taillamp that is closest to the keys inside!
