What Is an Ignition Interlock Device (IID)?
An ignition interlock device (IID), sometimes called a car breathalyzer, is a small breath-testing device connected to a vehicle’s ignition. Before the engine starts, the driver provides a breath sample. If the device detects alcohol above its preset threshold, the vehicle will not start.
IID requirements vary by court and motor vehicle agency, so drivers should follow the instructions for their specific program.
Budget IID provides reliable, court-approved devices, professional installation, and compliance support for drivers in Arizona and select California areas.
How Does an IID Work?
An IID checks a breath sample before the vehicle starts and may request additional samples after a trip begins. Exact testing and reporting procedures depend on your program.

What to Expect During IID Installation
A trained technician professionally installs the IID and connects it to the vehicle’s ignition system. During the appointment, the technician can explain how to provide a breath sample, respond to rolling retest prompts, and follow the service schedule required by your program.
Installation details and ongoing requirements vary by vehicle and program. Follow the instructions provided by your court, MVD, DMV, or other supervising agency.
Who May Need an IID?
A court or motor vehicle agency may require an IID after certain alcohol-related driving offenses or as a condition for driving privileges. Requirements vary by jurisdiction and individual program, so confirm the rules that apply to you.
