Method and apparatus for increasing safety for remote triggering, and motor vehicle

The invention relates to a method and an apparatus (510) for a motor vehicle (500) in order to increase safety for remote triggering, and to a motor vehicle (500) having such an apparatus (510). In this case, the data are received from a second device (300), from which there is a communication link to a first device (510). The data are associated with user inputs in an application on the second device (300). The method is characterised in that the first device (510) receives, for each user input, a portion of the data in a data packet of a data packet structure, the first device (510) preventing remote triggering if the data packet structure does not correspond to a predetermined data packet structure. A difference in the reception sequence of the data packets from the predetermined orderis an indicator of malfunctioning in the second device. Preventing remote triggering in the event of a difference therefore reduces the risk of remote triggering by a faulty second device and hence faulty remote triggering. 本
