Method for registering a control device of a vehicle with a service infrastructure

The control device has a UID, which it supplies to the service infrastructure. A vehicle data set, containing the UID, of the vehicle is known and accessible via a backend service of the vehicle manufacturer. A user enters into a service contract for a service with a service provider via a software interface of an application by the backend service. The control device supplies the UID to the service infrastructure as a reference or as a hashID created temporarily by means of a time-based one-time password algorithm. The UID is read out during production of the vehicle via a diagnostic service and is permanently stored in the vehicle data set of the vehicle. The backend service determines the UID of the control device installed in the vehicle, required for entering into the service contract, from the vehicle data set and automatically adopts it.
