Abstract
A graphical user interface (“GUI”) for a third-party application can be presented on accessory device that has user input and display devices.

The accessory can choose one of the pre-defined GUI image types and receive a remote GUI image that conforms to the selected GUI image type from the portable media device. Alternatively, the accessory can specify the layout and contents of the GUI image that it needs, and the portable media device can generate and send a GUI image according to the accessory's specification.
