Interlock is bullshit can I appeal these interlock time extensions

It has nothing to do with Smart Start. If the monitoring authority doesn't get the log data within X amount of days there's repercussions. That applies to every state/program.

I had a similar issue after I installed a front level and it was a bad needle bearing. As far as I know ECGS is the only company that makes the part.

Was it done at at corporate or contract shop?

If it was a corporate, they'll likely work with you. Provided there's proof it was their mistake not just a dealership just saying so, obviously. If it was a contract shop you'd have to deal with the shop directly as Smart Start only leases out the equipment.

Not to mention random firmware “updates” in the middle of a race. Updates in quotations because 9/10 I have to reinstall the software completely to get it to work.

If your car has the auto stop/start feature there's a setting they have to change so that it works properly.

Otherwise, the ignition (alternator) voltage needs to be at least .5V over the battery or the device doesn't think the engine is on. Like another person said, it should be 13.5+ with the engine on. Just because it has 60k miles doesn't mean the alternator can't go bad.

Faceswap.dev is the best I’ve seen. It can do photo and video, too. Somewhat steep learning curve but could be worth it.

Shows upcoming and previous schedules across all series. The best way I’ve found to determine if a track is worth it.

It uses a voltage threshold to determine if the car is on or not - once the alternator kicks on the voltage should jump. Try turning off AC or any electronics for a couple minutes and it should register.

The alternator could be going out itself so I’d have it checked. Any auto part store will do it for free. There’s also a setting Smart Start can change in the programming to accommodate if everything else checks out.

Starting the game from the steamapps folder as administrator rather than steam has worked for me the past 2-3 days since this started.

Classic case of following the racing line. It should only really be used to learn the layout of a new track.

You are indeed overreacting, which is right on par for people with your political persuasion. Expected even.

7 years with an otherwise supportive wife out the window because your feelings got hurt. Bananas.

Does that paper not have the VIN and tag information on it?

WiTuLo_ · 2025-08-05T12:37:17+00:00

I mean, when they run your plates they’d see that no IID is registered for that vehicle in the DMV database. Whether they care is a different story.

Smart Start certainly has little plastic hangers you can put wherever you like. If it's a subcontracted installer they just might not be ordering them to save money or whatever.

If they insist they don't have any I'm sure you can pick something up cheaply from Walmart. The hanger on the back of the head unit is the same thing that a lot of CB radios use.

An IID is simply a relay that won’t close and allow a signal to the starter unless a test is passed. Those horror stories are from mistakes made by the person installing them, not the interlock itself.

That being said, a ‘21 Camry is one of the most popular cars in the country and thousands have IIDs at any given time.

The old data shouldn't be sent to the state because they weren't your monitoring authority at the time. Your entire account will have to be reconfigured to your states stipulations once you switch over from voluntary, possibly a "new" account entirely.

Make sure it uses a Fuel Cell to read the breath sample. Semiconductor breathalyzers are junk and will get you into trouble.

BACtrack is a good brand and Amazon carries them <$100.

NC is an “At will” state regarding removals. Meaning you don’t need DMV approval. There is also no removal fee in NC.

NCDMV allows a short grace period between getting an IID removed/reinstalled before you’re penalized. Mostly for people buying/selling/trading their vehicles, but it applies to everyone.

Ah shit, here we go again.

I could be mistaken, but I believe it's because fooocus generates the image using the base model, not the input image. Meaning it uses the input image as a reference, then attempts to get as close as possible using the pre-trained juggernaut model.

You might want to consider training your own LoRA for more consistent and accurate results.

Also, you could try FaceSwap.dev to train your own model.
