How to disable Sirius Location Tracking

[My1stHemi]

I’ve read previous threads, but today I noticed I was still getting “song playing” pop-up messages from Sirius which has expired in September. I went into settings and all buttons are “grayed out” and it appears that location tracking is on again by default, but I had this off when it was active.
Is there a way to disable this tracking and pop-up options?
Tazer DT shuts off the weather notifications features but not Sirius altogether as far as I can tell.

I see you haven't gotten any responses. I posted something similar the other day and no responses. Either this is a taboo topic or no one knows how to totally disable Sirius.

Great info - thanks for posting! That certainly gives me an avenue to take when the time comes.

I called Sirius customer service a while back and asked them to disable the vehicle from their system. They did not understand my request and of course tried to offer me deals to resubscribe. They said they disabled the unit but I continued to see the tracking message and the sat radio still received signal. In the end I disconnected the cable from the antenna to the radio brain. Two screws on the top of the dash and the bezel pulls right out. Super easy.
