TPMS Sensor ID Programming -Anyone have any luck adding new sensors to GR86/BRZ?

My tpms findings. Use a ATEQ VT37 for programming and Autel TS601 for relearn. Have a limited 2022 BRZ. Switched out the original tires with Conti DWS06 all season tires but used the OEM rims. The ATEQ VT37 does not identify the OEM sensors under Subaru BRZ 2013-2023 settings. It will identify the OEM sensors under Toyota Camry 2021 Alloy. Autel identifies the OEM sensors under Toyota Camry 01/2020-12/2021 snap-in. Autel does not identify OEM sensors under the Subaru BRZ settings. Bought some Konig rims and Michelin Sport 4S. Bought some 28103-CC000 sensors on Ebay that were supposedly compatible with the Subaru BRZ. These are basically Huf-Intellisens 3040 universal sensors. These sensors were installed with the Konig rims. Recently put the summer wheels on. The ATEQ & Autel identify the sensors under the Subaru BRZ settings not the Camry. IDs from the summer wheels uploaded to ECU. TPMS LIGHT. Ended up reprogramming the sensors with the ATEQ to the Camry settings where new IDs were generated. Had to let air out of tires to 15psi per the tool instructions (crazy). Uploaded new IDs to ECU and good to go. The Autel lets one set the main or 2nd set to be saved and now have both sets in the ECU. It switches the IDs when glove box switch is pressed 3 times in three seconds. Pain in the ass to say the least.
 
Has anyone done a tire rotation yet? I know during sensor programming the sensor is assigned a location (front left tire, right rear...etc). So after a rotation the sensors are not in their assigned locations. I wonder if the car works that out on its own after some driving or if it would need reprogramming after a rotation. I wouldnt deal with the hassle personally and would just check the pressures manually if one of them was reading off on my display, but still curious to know.
Pretty sure the ECU won’t change the location that was saved. The transmitters have enough range to send their signal which will light up the numbers in the car. So a low number on the dash may be a wheel in a different location. Had to screw around a lot getting my summer wheels working (post from May 9). Have 2 sets of numbers now in the ECU and can switch the numbers with the button push in the glove box. Know for sure trying to register sensors under a BRZ type sensor did not work had to call them a Camry as indicated in the post. PITA working it out.
