IID FAQ

How much does an ignition interlock device cost?

Installation costs $0-$200 depending on the provider. Monthly monitoring/lease fees range from $60-$100. Total cost for 12 months is typically $1,000-$1,500.

How does an ignition interlock device work?

You blow into the device before starting your car. If your BAC is below the preset limit (usually 0.02-0.04%), the car starts normally. Random rolling retests are required while driving.

Can I choose which IID provider to use?

In most states, you can choose from a list of state-approved IID providers. Compare costs, device features, and service center locations before deciding.

What happens if I fail an IID test?

A failed test prevents the car from starting and is logged. Multiple failures or violations are reported to the court/DMV and can extend your IID requirement or result in additional penalties.
