Abstract

A method and a device for controlling operating sequences in a vehicle using at least one control unit having at least one non-volatile memory element, control being performed as a function of the respective vehicle version and/or control unit version, and the respective functions are selected during function selection by defining an identifier according to the version used, at least one predefinable data record and/or program code in the memory element corresponding to the selected functions, and the data record and/or program code being selected from a plurality of data records and/or program codes. The plurality of data records and/or program codes is generated during a version selection, the identifier containing configuration parameters, and the configuration parameters being used for determining the data record and/or the program code, the respective identifier, i.e. the configuration parameters being used for the selection of the version and the selection of the function.
