For Your Car - Getting You Back On The Road Safely

Ignition Interlock of Arizona is in the business of separating drinking from driving. We do this by installing breath alcohol ignition interlock device (BAIID) in the cars of DUI offenders. Ignition Interlock of Arizona is the largest service provider of ignition interlock devices and exclusive distributor of the LifeSafer Ignition Interlock device in Arizona.

All events, breath tests, engine on or off, etc. are recorded and stored in the devices memory. This information is available for your review and may be sent to the appropriate agency. The device meets or exceeds National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) standards, and is certified in All states that have ignition interlock requirements. All of our technicians are state certified professionals. We are certified by the state of Arizona Motor Vehicle Department (MVD) and our computers are linked to the MVD system.

Our ignition interlock model is a small, electronic handheld device wired into the vehicle's ignition system. The device requires the driver to take and pass a test that screens for breath alcohol, before using the car. Here are some of the superior features of our interlock product, all of which are software programmable:

• Basics - The LifeSafer incorporates the design elements of ergonomics, simplicity, reliability, specificity, and anti-circumvention.
• Hum Tone - Requires client to deliver a hum resonance while blowing the alcohol test prior to starting the vehicle. Deters techniques used to mimic human breath or to absorb alcohol.
• Random or Fixed Retest - The client is alerted and given a grace period to retest after the vehicle is put into the run state. The test can be delivered while operating the vehicle. Breath test refusal of the car's horn. Deters or failure is recorded and sanctions are imposed, including honking drinking after completing a sober start and vehicle idling at bars.
• Anti-Theft - The device can alternatively function as an anti-theft device for your vehicle, as only you can activate the ignition interlock.
• Timed-Lockedout - The LifeSafer can be programmed to accept a breath test during specified times and otherwise remain interlocked. Restricts driving hours and allows for the device to be temporarily used as an immobilization tool.
• Bypass Detect - If a breath test is not passed within a prescribed period of time after the vehicle is put into the run state, the horn will begin honking until the vehicle is turned off or a breath test is successfully passed. All events are recorded. Deters hot-wiring and push-starting of vehicles.
• Events Log - A built-in memory chip records all events associated with the use and/or misuse of the device. Reports are generated through a Personal Computer in a summary and complete hard-copy format.
• Violations Reset - If the pre-determined number of violations occurs during a monitoring period, an early inspection is required. Failure to report will result in immobilization of the vehicle. Violations are quickly identified and reported to the jurisdiction.
• Service Reminder Reset - Reminds the client of a scheduled monitoring check. Failure to have the device monitored within the scheduled time period is a violation and results in a device lock-out.
• Power Interrupt - A dated record of when the 12 volt power has been disconnected or interrupted. The device maintains memory through an onboard back-up lithium battery. This condition (other than Tampering) can occur when a vehicle's battery is disconnected due to repairs or is replaced. Clients are required to provide documentation of repairs.
• Vehicle Restart - In the event of a vehicle stall, the driver has a grace period during which the ignition can be turned off and re-engaged without having to submit an additional breath test.
• Emergency Bypass - If the Bypass is invoked, the client must return to the service location before the vehicle is immobilized. Proof of an emergency is forwarded directly to the referring agency. Service Centers may be pre-authorized to invoke the Emergency Bypass in the event of a device malfunction.
