I don't know much about car tracking specifically, but I really doubt they have anything more than a simple GPS module. If you disable that, you lose fine-grained tracking. You'd still have the phone company triangulating your radio's location, which is lower-resolution, but you may want to disable that as well.

Really, disabling the radio entirely would be your best bet.

Could be tough. I imagine the bus connections between the gps, radio, and systems needed for the car to operate are often intertwined. Might be easier to find and cut the antenna leads.
Yep, that's one way to disable the radio!
