The TomTom Digital Cockpit SDK is not available for general use.
Please contact us for more information.

TomTom Digital Cockpit comes with a built-in library of UI styles that can be reused to apply any brand guidelines. For example, choice of colors and typography can reflect the brand or vehicle interior, and the size can adapt to their screen sizes to provide the best user experience for the driver and passengers.

To ensure that custom UI themes meet usability standards, vehicle makers should follow the design principles defined in the Design Guidance section.

Any brand can be expressed using the TomTom Digital Cockpit predefined design system.
