Location Last Parked and Status

Can the dealer disable the Lexus App status for Location Last Parked or Status for servicing?

Also the functions of Lock/Unlock/Remote Start?

Lock/Unlock/Remote Start is part of RS subscription. If you let it expires then problem solved. What are you trying to do? Making it less convenient?

LOL. Just curious if the dealer can turn it off while they service the car.

In addition to what ionian said about letting the Remote Connect subscription expire, you also choose to opt out of the Connected Services system. Also if you don't want your vehicle snitching on you to mothership Lexus, you can also request deactivation of data transmission. You find the details on that along with privacy related information and details on connected services' feature in Lexus's Connected Services PRIVACY NOTICE. There's a lot of text; the deactivation related part:
