ABSTRACT:
A method, system, and computer program product for updating and/or expanding the functionality of the sequence control of at least one control unit of a motor vehicle are provided. In accordance with the method, a first data may be read from a first control unit and a second data may be read from a second control unit. A first check in the vehicle may be performed to ascertain whether the version of the sequence control currently running in the second control unit corresponds to a predetermined version of a sequence control or is even more current than the predetermined version. If the outcome of the first check is positive, a more current version in comparison with the version of the sequence control currently running in the first control unit may be saved and/or a version which expands the functionality may be saved in the first control unit.
