Is there enough juice to lock and unlock the car with the console button?
Yes, the doors will lock and unlock from the console.

Garage
I had to do the screw driver trick when I locked my keys in the trunk. After I closed the trunk the alarm rearmed and I was screwed. I managed to get the door open, but with the alarm still armed the levers were locked. The screw driver took a while, but I got it after a while. I took the cover off after to see what I actually did with the screw driver. Now I always keep an allen wrench in the side pocket just in case. So I'm saying just take the cover off and you should be able to release the levers without much trouble.
