Abstract
A vehicle-mounted apparatus distributes update data, which is provided from outside a vehicle, to a plurality of ECUs which are connected via a communication bus. Each of the plurality of ECUs belongs to at least one cluster out of a plurality of clusters. The vehicle-mounted apparatus includes a control unit which is operable to distribute setting information for setting a provisional cluster, which includes updated ECUs that are ECUs out of the plurality of ECUs belonging to the first cluster that are to be updated by the first update data but does not include non-updated ECUs that are not to be updated by the first update data, to the plurality of ECUs belonging to the first cluster, and when distributing the first update data, the control unit distributes the control message, which disables the first cluster and enables the provisional cluster, to the plurality of ECUs.
