Abstract
A controller for an occupant protection device in a motor vehicle includes a control unit, a first interface for receiving data, and a second interface. The second interface effects data interchange with a control device remote from the controller and operable with vehicle-specific characteristic operating values. After the controller has received vehicle-specific characteristic operating values for the control device, the characteristic operating values are passed on via the second interface to the control device and are stored there.
