Stuck - Drivers Door handle broke and Dead Battery!

Anybody know how else to get in the car ?
The door handle doesn't unlatch (needs to be replaced)

And with the battery dead, there is no way to remote open the other doors ?

i haven`t done it but other guys have hooked 12 v to the rear license plate light to get power to the vehicle . to pop the door locks with key fob. i would wait untill someone jumps in and confirm this or do a search on it.

Or the trailer plug if so equipped.

There's a thread with how to pop the hood from the outside on here, so you can charge there too.

Doesn't the rear license plate only have power when the headlights are on?

But if you search here, you WILL find the procedure for getting into the car. You can put power to the terminal of the starter from underneath the car.
