You have to retain the steering lock by law anyhow, whether the keys actually run the ignition and starter or not. So you might as well keep it running the ignition at least if not the starter, how complicated do you want your car to be?
Why do you have to keep the steering lock ?
Cant you get rid of the keys alltogether and just have an ignition switch ?
