The invention relates to a device that facilitates the control of units forming part of the equipment of a vehicle. The device comprises an input device for the purpose of inputting actions (such as communication, entertainment, .....) that are part of a set of pre-determined actions that can be realised by at least one of the units, and to transform the inputs into a signal representing the action, a memory in which is filed a relational database in which each action from the set is allocated to at least one unit that can realise that action, and a control unit that is connected to the input device, the memory and the units. The control unit is embodied in such a way that, on reception of a signal representing a required action from the input device, it makes use of the relational database filed in the memory to assign the action to a unit that can realise that action, and to send a control signal to the allocated unit by means of which the realisation of the required action by the allocated unit is initiated. In contrast to previous unit-orientated menu structures in centralised unit control systems, a convenient and simplified control procedure of units located within a vehicle is now made possible, since there is no longer any need for the user to be informed about the individual units and their functions. The invention also relates to a procedure to facilitate the control of units forming part of the equipment of a vehicle. <IMAGE>
