Default Can you disable GPS?

I have a 2017 Lexus IS and it drives me crazy that my husband can see where the car is at any given moment with the Lexus ap he has downloaded. This is primarily his car so I rarely use it but when I do I don’t want him to be able to see me at any point in time since I can’t see him. Can this be disabled somehow from the car itself?

it blows me away that he can see when the windows are down or when the car was started. Ugh!

and for the record, the car is in my name.

Call Lexus and cancel the Enform service or disconnect the GPS antenna. Of course, that might seem like a red flag to your husband, who could buy a GPS tracker from Amazon and hide it in the car anyway 😉

Even if she manages to cancel the subscription for her husband (don't see why would that be possible since she is not the owner), he will figure it out pretty quickly, once his app stops working.

Also, I second the comment about it being a huge red flag, bigger and meaner than the one at Mao’s parade.
