Dynamic human-machine interface device and method

A method for providing a dynamic human-machine interface, comprising the steps of:

• storing data representing at least one vehicle-specific parameter in a first memory section of a memory unit;
• storing data for each of a plurality of vehicles representing a respective appearance of at least one applet in a second memory section of the memory unit;
• storing data representing at least one application in a third memory section of the memory unit, each application corresponding to a respective applet, each application including at least one function;
• reading the data from the first memory section;
• reading the data from the second memory section representing the appearance of the at least one applet corresponding to one of the plurality of vehicles in accordance with the data read from the first memory section;
• reading the data from the third memory section corresponding to the at least one applet;
• and
• displaying the interface of the at least one applet corresponding to the one of the plurality of vehicles in accordance with the data read from the first, second and third memory sections.
