- TBTil BeetusSep 5, 20251.0There is no excuse for what I did but if you need an IID avoid Intoxalock and Auto Trim if you can! I am sure we are all glad this is getting out of my car. It was nothing but a hassle and I had to get at least six calibrations. They're $70 to Intoxalock and $30 to Auto Trim EVERY time. The first one, an employee at Auto Trim told me REMOVE the device every night so it won't freeze, which made sense to me. It violated and Intoxalock told me I was NOT supposed to remove the device at all. The unit itself was so old it had to have the same plastic and technology as the Apple IIe. Twice I was driving to/from Anchorage and it violated out of nowhere. Even if you move the device wrong picking it up to do a test it can fail and violate you. There HAS TO be a better way! Tommy at Auto Trim was very rude when I called about the removal process. He refused to provide any information at all and kept repeating Intoxalock has to contact them. Which I assumed but I wanted more information like cost, removal duration, etc I had to call Intoxalock and submit my completion period verification three times. (a State DL with no IID restriction) The removal is taking from 7:45 AM to "a couple more hours", according to Russell at Auto Trim, it is 2:30 PM and they close at five. Bryant at Auto Trim told me it would be about 300 bucks to remove it. I was told at the beginning it was $600 to install in a Chrysler 300 and $200 max to remove it. The only good thing about me getting away from all this is it ended up being $150.

Frequently Asked Questions About Intoxalock Ignition Interlock
How does an interlock device work?
An ignition interlock device (IID) is a small breathalyzer installed in your vehicle to prevent it from starting if alcohol is detected on your breath. Before driving, you'll blow into the device. If your breath alcohol concentration (BrAC) is below the programmed limit, the car starts. Periodic retests occur during your trip to ensure continued compliance. To read more on Intoxalock, you can read our ignition interlock device guide.
What is the cost of an ignition interlock device?
The installation of an ignition interlock device, often called a car breathalyzer, typically costs between $70 and $150. This one-time fee is paid at the start of your lease and covers the service center's labor to install the device in your vehicle. Payment is made directly to the service center at the time of installation. For more on cost breakdowns, you can read our cost of ignition interlock device guide.
How do I use my interlock device?
Using an IID is simple. To start your vehicle, blow into the device as directed. If the device detects no alcohol, your car will start. You may be prompted for "rolling retests" while driving, where you’ll blow into the device again to confirm compliance. How-to videos are also available on the Intoxalock mobile app.
Where do I get an ignition interlock device?
Ignition interlock devices can be installed at certified service centers nationwide. Intoxalock offers a convenient network of locations and helps you schedule an installation appointment near you. Visit our Intoxalock locations page or call us to find the nearest service center and begin the installation process.
How long will my installation take?
Installing an ignition interlock device typically takes 1-2 hours, depending on your vehicle type. Certified technicians ensure the device is properly installed and provide you with training on how to use it. Contact Intoxalock for an appointment and an accurate time estimate for your installation.
What happens if I fail a breath test on my ignition interlock device?
If you fail a breath test, your vehicle will not start, and the device will log the event. Depending on your state’s regulations, multiple failed tests may trigger additional penalties, such as lockouts or reporting to your monitoring authority. Intoxalock devices allow you to retest after a short wait if alcohol is no longer detected. Always follow your state’s guidelines to remain compliant.
Can I install an ignition interlock device in a vehicle I don’t own?
Yes, in most cases, you can install an ignition interlock device in a vehicle you regularly drive, even if you’re not the registered owner. However, the vehicle owner must provide consent for the installation. Intoxalock works with you and the owner to ensure compliance with state regulations and the successful setup of the device.
What should I do if my ignition interlock device locks me out?
If your ignition interlock device locks you out, it’s usually due to missed tests, failed tests, or state-specific requirements. Intoxalock offers a simple lockout override process in most cases to help you get back on the road quickly. Contact Intoxalock customer support for assistance and to understand the steps needed to resolve the issue.
