How Do Ignition Interlock Devices Work? What Is an Interlock?
When you start the vehicle, you will have to blow into the mouthpiece connected to the car breathalyzer. It will then measure your breath alcohol concentration (BrAC) and automatically determine whether to allow the car to start. To ensure a sober driver is behind the wheel, the device also requires rolling retests at intervals while you are driving. Any retest you take, whether pass or fail, will be reported to your monitoring authority.
The device requires anyone who drives the vehicle to provide a breath test, even if they are not the owner. Depending on where you reside, a camera may be required along with your ignition interlock device. This helps protect you from an alleged violation if someone other than you attempts to drive the vehicle after consuming alcohol. Some states will extend your restricted driving period with every attempt to start the car with a BrAC over the threshold. Follow these steps to start your vehicle with a RoadGuard interlock device.
Turn your key or press start, and the device will power up.

What is an ignition interlock device?
An ignition interlock device, sometimes called an in car breathalyzer or IID, is a breathalyzer installed in your vehicle that measures the level of alcohol in your breath. Connected directly to your vehicle’s ignition system, you are required to blow into the attached mouthpiece to test your Breath Alcohol Concentration (BrAC). If your alcohol concentration exceeds a specified legal level, the in car breathalyzer temporarily prevents your vehicle from starting.
How much does it cost?
Fees for IIDs vary from state to state, but we strive to always provide affordable, transparent pricing that includes installation, reporting, maintenance, and service. To find out the rates at your nearest location, give us a call. Call 1-833-545-0368
