How does an interlock device work?
When you blow into your ignition interlock device, you're providing a breath test sample to start the vehicle. The device then measures your breath alcohol concentration (BrAC) and will either say that you passed, need to retest, or failed. You also will be asked to take rolling retests throughout your drive.
What can breathalyzers detect?
Breathalyzers only measure your breath alcohol concentration (BrAC).
Is an ignition interlock the same as a handheld breathalyzer?
No. While ignition interlocks and handheld breathalyzers both test your breath alcohol concentration (BrAC), an ignition interlock device is installed in a vehicle and prevents the car from starting if there is alcohol detected. A handheld breathalyzer only detects alcohol and may tell you the concentration.
Can I unplug my ignition interlock?
Check with your state authority to see if you are allowed to unplug your ignition interlock before doing so.

Yes, but whoever is driving the vehicle MUST take a breath test and pass before driving. Any failed test will still be your responsibility.
