What is an Ignition Interlock Device (IID)?
An Ignition Interlock Device (IID), also called a car breathalyzer, is a device that measures breath alcohol content (BrAC). It is typically installed in your vehicle as part of an administrative or legal requirement after drunk driving. Learn more about Smart Start's Ignition Interlock here.
How do I know if Smart Start’s devices are compliant with my program?
Smart Start is the only authorized Ignition Interlock provider for the state of Hawaii. Smart Start’s Ignition Interlock Devices (IIDs) are also tested to meet the standards set by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
What happens after I get my DUI/OVUII?
In Hawaii, DUI/OVUII charges are divided into two parts: administrative hearings with the Administrative Driver’s License Revocation Office (ADLRO) and criminal proceedings with a judge. Your license may be revoked either administratively and/or criminally. You are only allowed to drive legally on a revoked license if you install an approved Ignition Interlock Device (IID) in every vehicle that you drive along with having a valid Ignition Interlock Permit (IIP) and a valid state of Hawaii ID. You may contact Smart Start to begin working towards regaining your driving privileges.
Do I need the device on all of my vehicles?
To drive legally during your revocation period, you will need to have an approved Ignition Interlock Device (IID) installed in every vehicle that you drive along with having a valid Ignition Interlock Permit (IIP) and a valid state of Hawaii ID. You may be subject to serious criminal penalties if you are caught driving during the revocation period without the above. Please explore the Hawaii Ignition Interlock Device laws in-depth.
What if I have a requirement, but I don’t own a vehicle?
Hawaii’s Ignition Interlock law requires that you install an approved Ignition Interlock Device (IID) in any vehicle that you have access to and will drive. You must also have a valid Ignition Interlock Permit (IIP) and a valid state of Hawaii ID. Please bring a letter of permission from the registered owner of the borrowed vehicle stating that you have permission to install the IID. Smart Start frequently installs interlocks on borrowed vehicles, so this will not pose a problem at any of our service centers.
How do the consequences differ for a first and second DUI/OVUII? Third? Fourth?
Consequences for a DUI or OVUII may differ depending on the circumstances of your individual incident. For the exact ramifications of your DUI or OVUII, please contact your attorney directly.
Where does installation fall based on my condition?

How often does my IID need to be serviced?
