When parking and lifting the Parking Brake, the Key fob to the car fell down in the slot. I need to get the Fob out.

This happens more than you think, you will need to remove the center console trim panels until you can see the fob. here are the instructions on how to do so in the images below. If you remove the panel where the gear shifter is, you should be able to access the space below the e brake handle. please check out the images below and let me know how it goes.
