A method of authorizing external devices that can be optionally connected with a data bus of a motor vehicle is provided. At least a first code can be entered by an operator in an external device that can be connected with the data bus, and is sent by the external device by way of the data bus to an authorization device of the motor vehicle. The first code is compared with a second code by the authorization device and, if the first code corresponds to the second code, the device connected with the data bus is authorized for coupling to the data bus. The second code is defined on the motor vehicle side independently of the external device. The second code, or a replacement code suitable for its determination, is emitted by an output unit in the motor vehicle interior. |
