Abstract
A process for the menu update and use of telematic services in a vehicle by way of an external service providing center. Data is exchanged between the vehicle and the service providing center with the service providing center providing telematic services. A menu for telematic services is provided by means of an information system of the vehicle, and the telematic services are selectable by way of the menu of the information system. The menu updating of the terminal takes place by the service providing center independently of the menu entry at the terminal. In addition, when updating and using telematic services, the data transmission between the service providing center and the vehicle is to be minimized. Subsequently, the service providing center is given access to a documentation system in which, by means of the vehicle identification tagging, information is filed concerning the equipment of the vehicles.
