A control unit for a motor vehicle includes a central processing unit, a communication interface and a memory for storing program data of respective control programs. For programming the control unit with program data, which are stored in a specified manner in the memory, the control unit is operatively configured for supporting a specified set of protocols and for reading-in and analyzing a program data updating prompt for a control program to be updated, which prompt is provided at the communication interface. The updating prompt includes a first indicator representing conceivable protocols usable for programming with updated program data. The control unit, as a function of the first indicator, determines a second indicator, which represents that protocol from the set usable for programming of the control unit with the updated program data. The control unit sends, in response to the program data updating prompt, a program data request, which includes the second indicator. |
