I'm pretty sure you must have the factory head unit in 6th gens in order to reset everything. The only thing that I know of that has an alternate way of resetting is the oil life. You can reset the oil life by pressing the gas pedal down 3 times in a row.

Some members have had there factory head unit mounted in the trunk so that they could still use it for resetting features, but also still but an aftermarket deck.

turn the ignition to on.

turn on the parking light on then off---repeat a total of 3 times

the tire monitors will now be reset---you do not need the stock head unit for this.

Using an adapter. they run about $20-$45 dollars depending who you buy it from. It comes with a long wire adapter that you can run into the trunk.
