Abstract

Data and consequently settings in a motor vehicle are personalized in the present case using a central data processing device. The latter knows the positions of a motor vehicle or a plurality of motor vehicles and transmits these positions to a mobile communication appliance, which compares the transmitted positions with its own. If the result of the comparison is that the mobile communication appliance is situated in proximity to one of the motor vehicles, personalized data are transmitted, which can then be used to make personalized settings.
