Abstract
A method and apparatus for a motor vehicle to increase safety for remote triggering and a motor vehicle having such an apparatus. Data are received from a second device, from which there is a communication link to a first device. The data are associated with user inputs in an application on the second device. The first device receives, for each user input, a portion of the data in a data packet of a data packet structure and prevents remote triggering if the data packet structure does not correspond to a predetermined data packet structure. A difference in the reception sequence of the data packets from the predetermined order is an indicator of malfunctioning in the second device. Preventing remote triggering in the event of a difference reduces the risk of remote triggering by a faulty second device and faulty remote triggering.
