If you've just received a court order requiring an ignition interlock device, time matters more than you might think.
Most states give you a limited window - typically 5 to 30 days - to get your IID installed. Waiting too long can mean extended license suspension or other complications you don't need on top of everything else.
Here's what you should know:
๐Most Intoxalock installations take less than an hour.
๐
Same-day appointments are available at many locations.
๐Over 90% of customers live within 15 miles of a service center.
๐ฑYou can schedule online or by phone.
Getting your device installed quickly is one of the most straightforward steps you can take toward getting your driving privileges back. We're here to make it as simple as possible.

We are thrilled to announce the winner of the 2025 Intoxalock Drunk Driving Prevention Scholarship, congratulations to Adrianna Beliard of the University of Bridgeport ๐
Adrianna's video was a standout: passionate, compelling, and a powerful reminder of why this work matters.
We're also proud to recognize our runners-up:
๐ฅ Chukwuma Ndive, Oregon State University
๐ฅ Joshua Cutting, UNC Charlotte
A huge thank you to everyone who liked, commented, and shared. Your engagement was a key part of how our finalists were scored, alongside review from Intoxalock's internal selection board. Every vote helped these incredible students get the recognition they deserve.
Each year, we invite students to create a short, self-produced video highlighting the dangers of drunk driving and how ignition interlock technology helps keep roads safer.
This yearโs submissions reminded us that the next generation isnโt just talking about change- they are the ones leading it.
Congratulations to all three finalists. Meet them in our latest blog. ๐

Quick reminder: your IID calibration keeps your device accurate and keeps you compliant.
Most states require calibration every 30โ90 days.
Missing your appointment can lead to violations, lockouts, and fees - none of which you want.

Did you know certain everyday products can trigger a failed breath test on your IID?
๐ซ Alcohol-based mouthwash
๐ซ Some energy drinks & fermented foods
๐ซ Certain medications
This isn't a device error. Your IID is doing exactly what it's designed to do - detecting trace amounts of alcohol on your breath.
Here are some common sources of trace alcohol you might not think about:
๐ Bread, especially fresh-baked or sourdough
๐น Kombucha and some fruit juices
๐ Liquid cold medicines and some cough syrups
๐ฆท Mouthwash containing ethanol
๐ฎ Certain sauces, marinades, and fermented foods like sauerkraut or kimchi
The amounts are small โ but small is enough.
Pro tip: Wait at least 15 minutes after eating, drinking, or using any oral product before testing. Rinse your mouth with water first. When in doubt, wait a little longer.
Still have questions? We're here for you.

Ever wonder how long a DUI "counts" against you?
The answer is your state's lookback period, the window of time courts use to determine if a prior DUI makes your current one a repeat offense. Lookback periods vary by state, ranging from 5 years to lifetime in some places.
Knowing yours matters.
