Turn off vehicle tracking?
Have a 2023 sl43 and when I got home the other day my wife knew exactly where I had been. She is on Mercedes Me so can I turn off tracking for some privacy without deleting her sharing my info? Also I have not been contacted by my insurance company yet to report my mileage so are they getting my mileage, driving habits, location, etc? Have been on sites describing how to disable tracking to get my privacy back but none seem to fit my app. Any help out there greatly *appreciated.

When I read the book 1984, several years prior to the date, it was a great read.
Short book, could probably be read in a day, or for sure in a weekend.
At the end of it, I thought back on the content, the text, the plot, the subplot, the story behind and between the lines.
I was happy to have read it, but I thought it could never happen.
Then I watched back to the future sequel. Where the world seemed to be watching Marty and his family from a flat screen TV in the middle of their great room.
That made me a little uncomfortable.
Then I saw the classic movie Brazil. It started coming together.
A Soviet style Big Brother isn’t here in the West, but in China, North Korea, and some others, it is here.
I don’t like it, and I do everything I can to avoid it, but what else can you do.
We have a good portion of our population submitting to voluntarily having big brother watching over all their moves.
What with Facebook, twitter, OF, many insurance apps, 23 and me, we are giving away any shred of privacy we have left.
I have been enticed to allow my insurance provider to allow them to monitor my driver’s habits.
To what end?
They claim the can save me money on my insurance.
But how do they take into account to animal that darts in front of you, causing hard braking, or heaven forbid you have to floor it to get away from a road rager with a gun?
In my estimation, all those apps will end up doing is being used as an excuse to increase insurance, or possibly cancel it altogether.

My wife and I subscribed to the car insurance monitor program. Not much discount, had to be careful with red lights so as not to speed up or brake fast and lord forbid you take a curve too fast. Ditched it but I am sure I left a lasting legacy for future increases in my policy. Wife still uses it and loves to get the high grades. Dunno if I can turn the dang thing off or have to buy another car to get my privacy back.
