Abstract

Proposed is a method for transmitting data in a vehicle, and a driver-information device, where an output unit is connected to processing devices by a data bus. This allows an output for all of the processing devices connected to the data bus to occur centrally in the output unit, whereby, on one hand, only one output unit is necessary for a plurality of processing devices, and on the other hand, processing devices of different manufacturers can be connected to one output unit, when a common data-bus protocol is present.
