Default TPMS diable without the expensive gear?

Are there any OBD2 plugin type units that can completely disable the TPMS function and all associated lights?

I understand this can be done with AlfaOBD and Appcar DiagFCC but you need special cables, a reader etc. At over $150 minimum.

I'd like a simple bluetooth scanner plugin unit to get the job done.

Doubt it. No manufacturer would want to open themselves up to that liability.

not sure the issue, I've seen hacks where people build a pressure tube and drop the sensors in, fill to need pressure, and throw the tube in the back seat, not sure if it actually works

Hacks, yeah, but not commercially available off the shelf TPMS defeat devices.
