If you have no cars in your name no IID requirement exists. If you are caught driving, there will be a probation violation charged.

Any car you drive has to have an IID in it, whether you own it or not.

You must have the IID on any car you drive, no matter who owns it. Yes, if you transfer title and do not drive it, then no IID would be required.

The court will probably not let you do this.

Yes, but you do need to apply to dmv for an interlock license and file an affidavit that you do not have a car in your name and agree not to drive a car that does not have interlock on it. If you do not get an interlock license, then the time does not count towards the interlock requirement.

Yes, if you don't own a car and aren't driving a car, you won't have to put on the interlock device. Be warned that if the court finds out that you actually driving, additional punishments are likely.

I believe it is any car you own or drive. I don't think that will get you out of it.

Yes, you do not need to install ignition interlock on a car that you don't drive and don't own.

You will not be permitted to drive any vehicle without the IID. There is no requirement that you drive.

The law requires that you not operate a motor vehicle without it having an IID. If you are planning to transfer the vehicle to your dad and then drive it while it is in his name, and then get the vehicle back in 16 months or so, you are buying yourself some serious issues.
Answered on Aug 23rd, 2012 at 10:53 AM
Yes. You have to also file an affidavit saying that you no longer own a vehicle. But, your license will perpetually be suspended, and when one day you do have a car again, they'll make you install IID to make up for the time you didn't have one. So, long story short, they will get you. The question is now, or later?

Thank you for your inquiry in Michigan, selling your car is of little help. If you are directed to have an ignition interlock device on your vehicle, it is on any vehicle you drive. If you are directed to do this by the Secretary of State, then not having one on your car and not using it will not help get your license reinstated. I hope that this is helpful.
