To use an alternative set of keys, do I just disconnect the battery while the ignition is on then reconnect and use the new keys?

Yes, I'm changing all the locks and ignition barrel.

Do I just turn the ignition on, remove the battery, remove the key, insert the new key, then reconnect the battery to code the ECU to the new key?

you will not code the new key to the ecu without software/hardware to program it

If its a properly unlocked ecu it will be plug and play. If its soft unlocked you need to unplug your transponder

if the ecu is unlocked why would you need to program a key?

if you are only changing the lock set only not the ecu
I would just change the new key blade into your old fob housing

I was under the impression that once the ECU was soft unlocked it would lock using the new chip in the key?

I only had one old key but have two new ones so thought this would be the easiest and cheapest way to do it.

to soft unlock ecu
disconnet ecu with engine running then cut the transponder wires, the 3 wire numbers are 820,821,822
by cutting the wires the immo decoder cant send the lock unlock code to the ECU

this will bypass the immo chip so you have no ecu security there is a risk the ecu will re-lock on its own,
this wont help getting the second key working with the central locking that is a different issue

if you have i working key with working immo
just get the immo chip cloned at a good locksmiths and insert it into the 2nd key case
