I did not have a key fob, only a manual key which is locked inside. I've tried the air pump in the window, but it won't inlock due to the fact its battery operated, and my battery is dead. i don't know how to get into it. So basically, my car has the battery out with the hood completely closed, no key fob only manual key which is locked inside and can't get in. please help.

The best thing to do is call a tow company or AAA which they have a special tool kit (Slim Jim) which they know how to use to get your car open.

There is no other way to get the car open. You can try to purchase the kit from amazon and try it yourself.

Here it is for $35.00:
