Design guidelines

Design for the car's wide 8:3 iDrive panel; screenshots should be 8:3 (e.g. 1920×720).
Large, legible type and high contrast — your app is read at a glance while driving.
Request only the vehicle data you actually use, and declare it in the manifest.
No distracting motion, and nothing that hides critical driving information.

Review

Every submission is checked against this spec automatically, then reviewed by a person before it can be installed on any car.
