Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method for enabling a temporary user to gain temporary access to a locked space of a vehicle. The vehicle is configured to communicate with an intermediate system adapted to remotely control functionality of the vehicle. The intermediate system is configured to receive, from a user device associated with the temporary user, a request message to open a remotely operable lock of the locked space and further configured to, based on the request message, transmit an unlock message to the vehicle to open the lock. The request message from the user device includes access parameters to enable the lock to be unlocked, the access parameters received by the user device from a permission message transmitted by an owner device directly or indirectly to the user device.
