State guidance figure · Ignition Interlock Device (IID) — New York State Unified Court System · checked 2026-08-23
- New York caps each manufacturer to a fee schedule filed with the state, so the exact figure depends on which manufacturer you use.
- If you cannot afford the device, the sentencing court can waive the fees — file the Financial Disclosure Form within 10 days of sentencing.
What New York requires
Under Leandra’s Law, anyone sentenced for DWI in New York since August 2010 gets an interlock — there is no first-offense exemption. The device goes in every vehicle you own or operate, including rented, leased and borrowed ones, and the restriction is added to your record even while your license is revoked.
- First offense: Normally at least 12 months on a DWI sentence, and required of anyone sentenced since 15 August 2010; you have 10 days after sentencing to fit it
- Lockout threshold: 0.025% — the court system states the engine will not start at that reading or above; random rolling retests follow, and a refusal sets the horn or alarm going
- Program run by: The sentencing court and probation, with the restriction recorded by NY DMV
Why New York orders these devices
An interlock order is not a judgment about you personally — it is what the state does with every case of this kind, and the reason sits in the crash record.
Source: NHTSA Fatality Analysis Reporting System, 2020–2022. The count covers fatal crashes where police recorded that a driver had been drinking, which is narrower than the federal 0.08 BAC measure and therefore understates the real figure. Suffolk County runs above the New York average, which is part of why the interlock requirement here is enforced the way it is. What the device changes is measurable too: a car fitted with one cannot be started over the limit, which is why the order attaches to driving privileges rather than to the sentence.

Interlock questions in Southampton
Where can I get an ignition interlock device installed in Southampton, NY?
We index 1 certified installation point in Southampton, run by Intoxalock. Addresses are listed above. Book with the provider your paperwork names, not the nearest one — a device approved in one state is not automatically approved in the next, and switching brands mid-term means a second installation fee.
How much does it cost to have an ignition interlock device installed in New York?
New York publishes its own figures rather than leaving it all to vendors: up to $200 to fit the device and up to $100 a month while it stays on the car. Removal is billed separately at the end of the term.
Can I drink one beer and still start the car in New York?
Almost certainly not. 0.025% — the court system states the engine will not start at that reading or above; random rolling retests follow, and a refusal sets the horn or alarm going That is far below any drunk driving limit, which is the point: the device is not testing whether you are impaired, it is testing whether you drank. One drink shortly before a test is enough on most programs, and the fail is recorded whether or not you try again.
What does an ignition interlock device do?
An ignition interlock is a breath-alcohol tester wired into your car ignition. You blow into it before starting the engine; if your breath alcohol is above the state threshold, the engine will not start.
While you are driving, the device asks for rolling retests at random intervals. Every sample, skipped test, and lockout is recorded and sent to the agency monitoring your case.
