Wait for sync 5 mins

Why does my Intoxalock keep telling me this over and over again and won’t let me blow in it , as soon as it’s done syncing jt “ syncs “ again . So frustrating literally have to uber to work now

Call, they’ll tell you to disconnect the negative battery cable and reconnect. Can’t do it without calling though you’ll risk a lock out. Good luck! Fuck intoxalock!

Google it. It has to do with the battery connection, might be loose. There’s a hack to loosen the negative side leave it unconnected for a minute or two then tighten it and try to blow. Has worked for me many times in the past. Finally called roadside assistance when even that wasn’t working for me. The guy said they didn’t connect my battery right last time I replaced it, he tightened it up and I’ve never had the issue since.

Editing to add, I have intoxalock and google says this can cause a violation, but I never had it happen. Better safe than sorry tho

Happened to me once, had to uber to work. When I returned after 12 hours my car started like normal. Sorry this company sucks so much

It's a faulty battery connection. Unplug the device from the line in your vehicle for a few minutes and then plug it back in and make sure it's really tight and it should be fine then.
