An ignition interlock device is a device that is installed into a vehicle. It is a safety device used to prevent people from driving if their breath is noticeably concentrated in alcohol.
No. Interlock devices are designed to detect alcohol only.
Depends on the sensitivity level set in the ignition interlock system.
No it is not allowed
Yes, a clear violation of an ignition interlock device occurs when a driver attempts to operate a vehicle without passing the breathalyzer test or when the device detects alcohol. This can result in penalties such as fines, extended license suspension, or criminal charges. Additionally, it may lead to the revocation of the driver's permit to use the interlock device. Compliance with the terms of the ignition interlock program is crucial to avoid these consequences.
An ignition interlock device is allowed inside a vehicle that has been ordered by the court to have one installed. It is used to prevent a car from starting if someone has had alcohol to drink.
A safety interlock module operates by monitoring the voltage from the ignition coil. This ensures that the engine is running safely and that the system can disable certain functions if irregularities are detected. By assessing the voltage, the module can determine if the ignition system is functioning properly before allowing the operation of connected devices or machinery. This helps prevent accidents and ensures safe operation.
An Ignition Interlock Device (IID) is larger than a cell phone and is wired to your vehicle's ignition. A standard Igntion Interlock has four main cables. The 12 Volt, Igntion Hot, Starter and Ground in order ot operate correctly. You have to have direct 12 volt, and solid ground, then you interrupt the starter wire and connect the interlock starter kill to that, and last is the ignition run, so when you turn the key it activates the Interlock. How it installs varies from car to car, but basically it disables your key from reaching the engine. The device prevents the engine from being started if the breath alcohol concentration is too high. It needs to be installed by a state certified installer along with a lot of official paper work, so it is not a do it yourself thing. More importantly, criminal sanctions exist for circumventing or tampering with an Ignition Interlock Device. In Arizona, QuickStart Ignition Interlock AZ is one.

It is possible, but not wise. It needs to be repaired before driving it. One method that generally works is to use Blowclean. It works great, is good for a year, and works on all ignition interlock systems.
More trouble than it's worth
Just with the research I've done with interlock ignition systems, I'm pretty sure they would except your car or whomsoever car that's in need of renting..
Yes, an interlock device will still work. An MSD box is an after market brain that fires the spark plugs in performance vehicles and has nothing to do with engaging the starter motor. The interlock device is installed between the ignition switch (key) and the starter motor relay or solenoid and is independent of the secondary ignition system. (Where the MSD box is located)
