Default Reprogramming Keys w/o a programmed FOB

Folks, in a bit of an emergency here. Was selling my car this morning (was supposed to anyways) and decided to replace the batteries in both my FOBs. This resulted in both being deprogrammed. I have done this before w/o any real issue and i know where the guides are but cannot get it to work.

When access the vehicle from the trunk with the key the alarm goes off. I have set it off like 4 times and i am sure my neighbors are annoyed. Is that normal? Anyway to avoid it?

I have seen in the instructions to keep any ‘old’ fobs away from the car when rotating the key five times. But none are programmed so is that any fobs?

Is there a like ‘lock out’ period after an unsuccessful programming attempt? The first time I tried I ‘think’ I got the programming cue but by the time I went over and grabbed the fob and got into the car it was gone. And after that rotating the key five times and the screen stayed blank.

Any help would be apppreciated.
