Device, method, and computer program for establishing a communication link between an information system and a mobile device

A method for a mobile device for establishing a communication link between the mobile device and a vehicle information system, the method comprising:

• providing information about communication parameters for a communication link between the vehicle information system and the mobile device for the vehicle information system using a computer infrastructure;
• and
• establishing the communication link between the vehicle information system and the mobile device based on the information about the communication parameters.

A non-transitory computer program product having a program code for performing a method for establishing a communication link between a mobile device and a vehicle information system when the program code is executed on a computer, a processor, a control module or a programmable hardware component, the method comprising:

• obtaining information via a vehicle-specific control channel about communication parameters for a communication link between the vehicle information system and the mobile device from the mobile device using a computer infrastructure;
• wherein the information about communication parameters includes hot spot settings of the mobile device, and
• establishing the communication link between the vehicle information system and the mobile device based on the information about the communication parameters, wherein the mobile device is operable as a hot spot to establish the communications link.
