How do I disable, turn off and disconnect bluetooth RF on a 2012 chevy tahoe?

I'd just disable the entire OnStar system. I don't like the notion of being tracked, nor listened to, inside my own vehicle anyhow.

Welcome to the forum.

You could try pulling the fuse if there is a separate one for the OnStar module. The surest method would be to disconnect the antenna.
If you are worried about them tracking your movements then you need to pull the battery on your cell phone because Google is tracking you 24/7/365.

Absolutely, which is why I have an old Samsung Note 4 removable battery smartphone. I know of only one new Samsung that has a removable battery and I like my old phone well enough that I don't need to shell out $550 USD for it.

When I got my last Samsung phone about a year ago, they did not even have any new ones available with replaceable batteries. This was at the T-Mobile store so there may have been one available somewhere else.

Its the Galaxy Xcover Pro 64GB (unlocked). It's military-grade, but missing a few features that say a Note 9 would have like 128 GB of internal storage. T-Mobile will activate it, but they don't sell them. I have a strong preference for CDMA network phones, not GSM, which T-Mobile is. Also, hard to find spare batteries, so all in-all not an option. One of Samsung's cheap smartphones have replaceable batteries, but the cover needs a fingernail slot to remove it, which it does not come with, and even then it's simply not what I'd like in a new phone.
