A method for communicating vehicle data relating to a vehicle automatically determines whether a vehicle is in a predefined surrounding area of a service facility. If this has been detected, a predefined set of vehicle data is provided via a communication interface of the vehicle for transmission to a vehicle data collection device. The set of vehicle data received by the vehicle data collection device is at least partially made available to the service facility.

Method for communicating vehicle data of a vehicle

A method is provided for updating at least one software component of a motor vehicle. The method operates such that the updating of the software component to be updated is offered to the driver by a service facility outside the vehicle before updating is executed. The updating can be enabled solely by the driver of the motor vehicle in response to the offer. The transmission of vehicle configuration information and identification data to the service facility takes place repeatedly in a time controlled and/or event controlled manner without the involvement and/or notification of the driver.
