Those installing remote starters/alarms

I had a customer in the other day that had a Intoxalock system installed on his vehicle. All states are requiring these now for habitual drunk drivers if they want to drive their cars.

I was thinking of how the unit worked and how these units must install just like a remote starter or alarm system, and then I contacted the company supplying the units.

I just received the info on the units and installation. They are actually easier to install 'cause they have a lot less control wiring than your average remote starter or alarm. These people have to pay you install the unit, pay the company that supplies the units for the lease, pay you to service the unit in a frequency determined by your state DOT, and pay you to remove the units.

This is not something that you have to have in inventory or keep on the shelf. They are supplied when needed by the leasing company.

If you are looking to expand your business, and you have 12-volt experience, you should consider this as an opportunity. The only requirements of your place being an authorized service/installation center is that you are familiar with 12-volt technology, and that your shop carries at least one million dollars in shop liability coverage.

If you are interested in this as an opportunity, call Consumer Safety Technology, Inc., at 877-777-5020. You can also visit Intoxalock for more info on the units.

In the state of Wisconsin, service centers are getting between $75 and $150 for install, about $20/month to exchange the unit, and $50 to $100 for removal of the unit. That $20/month is just unplugging the thing, shipping it to the leasing company, and plugging in a new one that is supplied by the leasing company. Most states require the user to have this installed for more than one-year on their vehicle. Imagine the potential if you have many people in your area requiring these units!

we dont have these in the UK, but they look a good profit opportunity...have you installed many?

I actually have thought of that before maybe this winter when things slow down i will look into it

No, I haven't done any yet. I just received the info packet from the leasing company. I have had a couple of customers in the last few years that have had them installed on their vehicles, which sparked my interest. After reading the installation manual, and talking extensively with a rep from the leasing company, I am going to add them to my business.

aside from the obvious +12, switched, interrupt relay,and ground...........

what wires are needed to install this gizmo?
