This device sucks and is more dangerous than an intoxicated driver. The most ridiculous thing to have a person repeatedly blow into a device while driving in fast , heavy traffic. Not to forget to mention ignorant ROAD RAGE drivers here in Houston who are not aware that the next driver is also trying to locate and pick up a device and blow in it , in many instances, having to blow several times. That device is also very loud, annoying and disruptive for safe driving. This is also a money scam!!!! UPDATE !!!!! Since my review I have received a call from an intoxalock specialist. By the end of the phone call all my issues were resolved. I am now satisfied with the service.
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.

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.
