A paperclip can be used to grasp the broken piece from both sides, and then push it out. If it's not encased within the lock, you can also try using a pair of pliers.

The engine won't start when the device inside the car does not recognize the signal. This is a measure of security designed to prevent thieves from hot wiring their cars and driving them off.
