Ignition Interlock Program

Ignition Interlock Program

Absolute Autoguard is pleased to offer the Ignition Interlock Program to residents of Manitoba. With our 15+ years of automotive electronic installation & upfitting experience we have the knowledge and skills to provide you technical service while you are enrolled in the Ignition Interlock Program. Absolute Autoguard is responsible for the installation, calibration and removal of Smart Start Devices, and for downloading data from the device and sending it to MPI & Smart Start Canada.

Program Hierarchy

While the majority of your interaction will be with Absolute Autoguard while you are in the Ignition Interlock Program, it is important to remember that we are only one component of the program. Absolute Autoguard is responsible for installing, downloading data from, and calibrating your Ignition Interlock Device at your scheduled appointment. Your download is sent to Smart Start Canada where they expand the data and send it to MPI for their records and monitoring. This data includes your attempts, passes, fails and lockouts and the time associated with each event. The Province of Manitoba has authority of the program through MPI. They keep track of your case and program compliance throughout your time in the program. The Province of Manitoba and MPI determine whether you are eligible to participate in the program and your successful completion.
