URGENT: Locked my keys in the car

[CanadianX5]

Don't break a window.
Are any of your windows or sunroof open?
If they are use a coat hanger or something like it with some electrical tape wrapped on the end (to prevent scratching) and try to push the unlock or hatch release button.
The other thing you can do is have it towed to a dealer and let them open it.(you have to bring it there anyway to fix the busted lock)

If the lock is all messed up try hammering a good flat tip screwdriver straight in and use some vicegrips to turn it.

Up here in canada we have CAA (tow truck fleet) that will go unlock for about 50 bucks.

Everything aside tow it to a dealer.
Good luck , let us know what happens.

Thank you for the help and advice. I ended up trying to break the window, but the interesting thing is I hit the side window, and it didn't break, it just fell into the door. I was able to retrieve the key, and I believe I can still salvage the window..

Thanks,
Andrew

FYI for anyone else who runs into this problem, even if you push the unlock button on the center console, it doesn't work. The only way to unlock the car is with the remote.

I think the window regulator just gave out. My rear window just dropped to the floor for no reason and I had to replace the window regulator.

Around $80. There's a DIY on the home page for how to replace them.
