Answer #1

I would get him to call the company that installed it. When i had my breathilizer in my car the sensativity on it was insane…it picked up everything, mouthwash, mouth freshner spray, and sometimes it would fail me if i had just taken a sip of a drink (non-alcoholic) or had eaten somthing seconds prior to blowing in it. I couldnt eat or drink anything while i was driving and i cant count the number of times i was late for work because my mouthwash and toothpaste made i fail me and lock me out.

Answer #2

Thank you, he did and they said some gums can set it off along with cologne among many things.
