Abstract: A method for implementing at least one function, provided by an external server, in a control device of a vehicle includes transmitting the at least one function from the external server via a wireless interface to a management control device arranged in the vehicle; transmitting, by the management control device, the at least one function to at least one control device of the vehicle; and implementing the at least one function in the at least one control device. The at least one control device controls the vehicle in accordance with the at least one function.

Abstract: A method for the diagnosis and/or configuration of a vehicle includes sending, by a back end unit via an air interface to a vehicle unit, a data packet which comprises an order for the diagnosis and/or configuration of the vehicle, evaluating, by the vehicle unit, whether the diagnosis and/or a configuration of the vehicle is to be undertaken, and initiating, by the vehicle unit, the diagnosis and/or a configuration of the vehicle.

Abstract: A method for providing at least one specific vehicle state of a vehicle. The method includes acquiring basic parameters of the vehicle from at least one data source; comparing the acquired basic parameters with a comparison list; and providing a specific vehicle state for the acquired basic parameters based on the comparison.

Abstract: A method operates control devices of a motor vehicle which communicate via at least one databus. A gateway control device which controls the transmission of data on the databus, or on each databus, and a plurality of motor vehicle control devices which control the functions of an assembly such as, for example, of an engine, of a gearbox or of an air conditioning system of the motor vehicle, are connected to the databus, or to each databus. One of the control devices, preferably the gateway control device, generates centrally a diagnostic message which is valid for the other control devices, preferably for the motor vehicle control devices, and transmits the diagnostic message to the other control devices on the databus, or on each databus. The other control devices then exclusively perform fault storage if a fault storage function is activated by the diagnostic message.
