The invention especially relates to a method for transferring a first control structure and/or first data to a first control appliance, and a second control structure and/or second data to a second control appliance in a motor vehicle, said control appliances being respectively connected to a transmission device by means of a first data bus. The transmission device is preferably located outside the vehicle. The transfer is carried out via the first data bus using a first transmission protocol. The first transmission protocol comprises a data frame having a pre-determined frame format or messages format, and the transfer is entirely carried out by the transmission of a plurality of data frames. In order to transfer large quantities of data rapidly into the control appliances of a vehicle, in a first step with a first data frame, part of the first control structure and/or the first data is transmitted to the first control appliance. Directly after, in a second step with the second data frame, part of the second control structure and/or the second data is transmitted to the second control appliance.
