You joke but my old FJ Cruiser requires you to turn the key to accessory, turn it off, turn the key back to accessory, open and close the door three times, turn the key back off, turn the key to accessory while holding the odometer reset button for 5 seconds and then it will enter pairing mode for the remote fob.
It made me feel the same joy as pressing the option on my Android phone 5 times to enter development mode back in the mid 2010s but it gets old quick.
We need to test a vehicle on a dynamometer and to get the transmission into dyno mode it was something like that, press brake 3 times, press the button on the shift selector twice, move to neutral then reverse 3 times, etc, it was a super long combo. It was so satisfying to see the CAN message that we entered test mode
I have a motorcycle that uses a keyfob, there’s a sequence of events using the stop-run switch and the turn signals so you can enter a code and get the bike to start.
Turn the car off, shift to 4th gear, press break, break and windshield wiper, then turn it back on to enter Developer Mode

And for this next trick, we will dance the macarena while reciting the alphabet backwards and jumping on one foot!
Built in sobriety test, how nice!

They could’ve stopped at step 3 but they gave you 8 more steps to feel like a true hacker.
On for three seconds. Off for five seconds. On for three seconds. (rinse repeat)
