- CSChris Smith6 days ago5.0They were really nice and helpful
- RARick A.Dec 4, 20251.0This company is the worst. Once you get setup, they'll never answer your questions, issues or anything. Beyond that if I wasn't diligent during setup; It would have caused massive issues. They entered all of my information incorrectly: the VIN, Plate, Year etc.... The state claims the IID draws .01% of my battery and it will last 3 weeks in winter. Completely false. This device has killed my brand new battery in 2 weeks, leaving my car dead every other day. I can't make it a single work shift without the battery dieing, which is considered a tampering event, adds time to your IID countdown, Create fines, and risks losing your license entirely. This Is dark design that is Setup to extort you. The IID can't be brought inside during winter, the power saving mode doesn't help -- there's additionally A Bluetooth device, GPS, and Camera that constantly draw power as well. I've completely quit drinking for this IID and still have failed samples, this company should be sued into oblivion. DO NOT CHOOSE INTOXALOCK -- there are other companies GO WITH A DIFFERENT COMPANY.

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.

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.
