The reason I'm asking is that it seems that it will need to be inspected by your authorities to confirm that it was installed properly and will immobilize the car...

I'm almost positive this is something that has to be installed by a certified tech.

On a serious note, the devices are usually leased and are required to be installed by an approved shop.

FWIW here in Melbourne it's 0.05 BA and its a second offence that you get the interlocking device installed by the state rather than having to organise it yourself.

The guy at the dealer told me that they just installed an harness in a 2017 for 1900$.

Suggestion
Totally depends on the state, in MI you get one chance to take the test offered, either blood or breath, refuse that and you get 6 points on your license and automatic suspension of your license for 1yr, then they get the warrant for the blood draw.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi,
I need to install a breath analyser in my 996 and the device installer told my that before installation i need to send my car to the dealership so he can install a wiring harness prior to the anaylser installation.
The guy at the dealer told me that they just installed an harness in a 2017 for 1900$. Electronic is probably a lot more simple in a 2004 but he could not figure a price and told me that it would be in the 1500$ range.
Anyone have an idea if i can DIY the wiring or help me finding documentation so my indy could do the job ?
Thanks
Richard
This is being mandated by a judge (i.e. DUI conviction), right?
The reason I'm asking is that it seems that it will need to be inspected by your authorities to confirm that it was installed properly and will immobilize the car... and it's "fool proof" (i.e. not easily bypassed). I'm sure having an invoice from a professional shop would help speed up the approval process and get you back on the road again.
Finding cheap breathalyzers on the market is one thing, but finding a turnkey kit that can immobilize a Porsche is another thing.
If you're trying to save yourself a lot of $$$, I'd first call some of the companies that sell complete "InterLock" kits like GuardianInterlock and see if there is a kit for the Porsches.

That's a little harsh...I don't know if I'd have the stones to come on here and basically admit I was drunk driving. I'm not saying that one doesn't basically gets what one deserves after doing so but he's asking us for help to solve his problem. I get that we joke around a lot here but maybe some things are better left unsaid or unjoked about. Or at least until after his question has been answered...
We know nothing about the circumstances. Perhaps a child or spouse was the one who has the requirement.
But I agree with b3freak's notes on the validity of the installation. Regardless of who was over the limit, $1500-2000 seems like a relatively low price to pay compared to incarceration.
On a serious note, the devices are usually leased and are required to be installed by an approved shop. In my younger years I got a dwi for having two beers at a restaurant and was pulled over for a light out on my license plate. Did not have to get a breathalyzer installed, but the process was tough and will never risk the "two beers again". Here is an article that may be helpful. I'm almost positive this is something that has to be installed by a certified tech.

Yes it was DUI, i was just a little bit over the .08 limit (.105). The company that install the InterLock in my region cannot install it into a 911. i need the harness from the dealership to be install before the interlock device. 1900$ is only for the harness so i need to add the 300$ for the interlock installation + the 125$ monthly fees for 9 months.
I admit that i got what i deserved, im not proud of it, but i need to live with it now and im not ashamed of it.

Sorry to hear. Might be easier to just buy a junker car for a few months. This whole "little bit over" is the basis behind all the ad campaignes to your age group.
I agree with Lex, use alternate transportation for the duration and start fresh with the 911 when all is sorted. Have a non-restricted friend take you out in the 996 every couple of weeks to keep it exercised and healthy.
At $1200 you can get yourself a decent enough beater that you can probably get away with just putting gas into it for 6-12 months.
Richard, shame shouldn't come from a mistake, but from repeating the same mistake. Keep your head up and thank God you didn't get hurt or hurt someone else. There are options, but cross one bridge at a time and remember, you can't choose your circumstances, but you can choose your attitude.
We wish you the best and hopefully someone will provide an economical harness or maybe a cheaper daily driver that can save you money.
Pretty sure the breathalyzer company will not install their test unit if you try a DIY job. It has to come fully baked from Porsche, complete with anti-tamper seals, certificate from mfg, etc.
Sorry about the circumstance.
Never had any experience with those but a few around me have
do the work and get it right, an associate had one and left his car unlocked
a teen party broke out and all the kids thought it would be cool to check their
BAC
despite the data (perhaps 8 - 10) blowing different levels in very short periods of time
the state would not allow any reprieve
that and the early models were notorious for breakdowns, inaccuracies and some general
hosing from the supplier
this was quite awhile ago, I would hope that the tech has improved
best of luck with this
Buying a beater is not a solution unless he sells 996 to a friend for the mandates interlock period. Because interlocks have to be installed in all vehicles owned by the " perpetrator".
Also if you get pulled over and DUI routine starts, mouth shut and refuse field tests for breath and balance crap. Call lawyer if you have one right there. Have lawyers saved in the phone.
When taken to the station, refuse breath again, they will get warrant for blood draw. Here, depends on your ***** level you can drop the " I am a Muslim" card.
Totally depends on the state, in MI you get one chance to take the test offered, either blood or breath, refuse that and you get 6 points on your license and automatic suspension of your license for 1yr, then they get the warrant for the blood draw. As far as interlocks go, you do not have to get one installed even if ordered to do on any of your vehicles, however one must be installed on any vehicle you drive. But if you refused the test that was offered, then you don't have to worry about an interlock as you won't have a license anyways. Refuse the road side tests, no problem, refusing the road side PBT will result in a $100 civil infraction.
Drop the "I am a mooslum" card and you'll get a congrats, are you going to take the test or not?
It's not an auto DUI, but Michigan has an implied constant law, meaning once you sign for your drivers license, you consent to complied with all lawful orders during a traffic stop. Hence losing your lisence regardless of the outcome of the DUI case, sober or not. So even if you refuse, your blood is sent to the MSP for analysis. Then those results are presented in court as evidence. From there people usually challenge the legality of the stop, because you can't challenge the blood test results. Well you can try, but good luck getting those thrown out.
would it make sense to buy some reasonably priced beater that requires a cheap and basic installation and just use that until youre time is up ? why take the chance cutting up your good car ? spend 2 grand on an Altima or something, 500 to install the rig, then when youre done sell the Altima off and that's that. Porsche remains intact...
FWIW here in Melbourne it's 0.05 BA and its a second offence that you get the interlocking device installed by the state rather than having to organise it yourself. I'd have nightmares of some dodgy installer drilling holes into my dashboard and chopping up my wiring loom.
It's taken very seriously here in Australia as it's a problem. Interesting situation, at least it didn't end in tragedy. If in doubt uber is the way to go, best of luck sorting it out.
I have AAA, if I ended up getting tanked while I'm out driving, I call AAA and tell them my car is broke, it's gets towed home and I get a ride from the tow truck driver. Then when I wake up, I'm home, the car is home, and everyone is happy
What chaps my hide is the fixed DUI checkpoints. I have been through 3 of them and I am only a rare visitor. I had to stop at one in Rockport. They had a line of > 15 cars backed up for the blow in the tube deal. I was going to back up, cross the median and go the other way, but figured that would be frowned upon.
You mean using a service i pay for is now considered freeloading? And I don't/won't ever use uber or any other ride share program. If I do go that route it's traditional cab company or nothing.

M3, You wanna take back your first comment about this "being the dumbest thing you've ever read on Rennlist"? It seems you've replied more than anyone... and prolly replied more on this thread than any other thread you've been a part of. Interesting.

You are paying AAA to tow you when the CAR is broken down, not you. Sorry, but you are only getting this "service" because you lie to AAA about your circumstances. I have AAA, and while I consider it cheap compared to the peace of mind it gives me (and I've used them a couple of times), this kind of deception (cause that's what it is) just drives the premiums up for the rest of us.
You don't come off as an *** to me, but I don't think you see anything wrong with your actions. Just my 2 cents.

And while you're tying up that tow truck driver for your ride home, someone's wife is stranded on the side of a dark, deserted highway waiting for a tow truck...
I spent over $300 on Uber so far this weekend. Two trips to Barrett-Jackson and a couples night out.
Money well spent...
It's a tow truck, and I don't care what it's tied up doing, you pay for it, get in line like everyone else.. what even funnier is people have more of a problem with someone using a tow to get home after drinking than the guy drinking and driving!!
Hey! The track event next weekend is 185 miles from here. I have AAA Premier, which gives me a 200 mile tow. I think I'll have my car towed to the track. Will save me the gas and can snooze for a couple hours.
Gonzo: "Work the system however you like. Be proud."
I don't think you turned your sarcasm font on. I get it, but I think it will sail over the intended target.
"It's a tow truck, and I don't care what it's tied up doing..." In a nutshell you have spoken volumes. People here have been incredibly kind.
This thread is starting to remind me of the guy that dumped on the Boxster owner at the car show that offered to let his kid sit in his car. I was amazed that anyone would go on a public forum and let everyone know what a tool he was.
OP had the ***** to admit he screwed up, and was looking for help. Bad original decision on his part, but he seems to have acknowledged that and that speaks well for him. This other nonsense just depresses me. Shouldn't have to explain morals, but then again I guess I need to recognize that not everyone thinks like me.
UBER and Lyft are always going to be your best friends. Sorry about your circumstance, we all make mistakes, just make the necessary corrections with yourself. For what it's worth, uber is so readily available and CHEAP here in Vegas I take it even if I'm only going to have one drink. No more than $10 one way anywhere I am going (unless strip then around $20), definitely worth the peace of mind.
As for the breathalyzer, I know it would kill me to chop into my Porsche. I would take the beater route, but Kalashnikov brought up a good point about not being able to own a car without the system. If you own the car outright, do you have a loving mom/dad/grandma you could sign ownership too? Then when this is over transfer title back to your name. They wouldn't even have to register it, and keep documentation showing the car doesn't really have X amount of additional owners. Just a thought.
Come on man, really??? M3, I don't mean to throw stones in your glass house, but two wrongs don't make a right. Gaming the system hurts all of us that pay premiums and play by the rules. If you want to drink to the point of inhibiting your driving, then call your spouse or a friend to drive you home. I hope you have at least one of those two.
Truth be told I was just being an ***, I've got better things to do then call AAA for tow after drinking. I don't drink often, but when I do I have a plan before hand, because I'm the kind of guy that likes to tie a real buzz on. That plan never, ever includes uber though...traditional cabs, or designated drivers fine, uber, no thanks.
You are uniquely qualified to make this judgment...
That's some SWEET backpedaling. I especially like how you defended your position several times before recanting.
This goes a long way toward explaining many of your other posts...
There has been a dearth of users who are both habitually wrong AND overtly disagreeable since KK left - thanks for trying to fill that void.
I'm sure we've all been there...I'm just got lucky I never got caught. Since AZ passed some of the strictest mandatory DUI laws in the Country, Uber has become my best friend. Sad really that the laws are my main motivator. It always should have been for my safety, the safety of others on the road, and because its the right thing to do...
My boys are grown men (in age anyway!) but I have my credit card on their Uber app. I never wanted the cost to be a factor in a bad decision.
That was definitely true when I was younger...the legal ramifications were what kept me from DUI. At 46, the thought of living with the guilt of killing or maiming someone is at least as much - or maybe more - of a disincentive as the legal and financial consequences...
I wasn't gonna admit to it, but - yeah, I did it once. In fact, I did it in a 914 of all things. We were in Tijuana and left our cars on the San Diego side many years ago. My GF and I went down for a party, and I was over the limit. It was one of the stupidest things I did, even though we only drove about 6 miles to her house. No excuses, youth - distance - night - none of it matters.
Thanks all, actually i dont need a beater, i already have a Grand Cherokee, thing is here in Quebec Canada, summer last 6 months and if i dont install an interlock my car will sits for 18 months because of the next winter. Its a lot of money but i bought it last summer and want to drive it...
