A couple years ago I picked up some Autel MX Sensors which support "cloning" through their diagnostic tool. Then I cloned my summer tire TPMS IDs to be the same TPMS IDs as my winter tires, and now I can swap them seasonally in only a few minutes with no need to make the car relearn them.

A few months ago I was able to bypass creating an account (and sidestepping all the dark patterns) by just calling their automated phone number and unfreezing with my PIN. Was pretty painless.

Instead of paying for a separate SIM, I've been piggybacking on the "data only" SIMs that Google Fi let's you add to a normal subscription. No extra per-SIM fees, and you just pay for whatever data it uses at $10/gb.
