A method and a computer device for installing wireless nodes in motor vehicles, such that at least one wireless node (1) is installed in a motor vehicle (3) which is provided with at least one electronic control unit ECU (30) suited to wireless communication with the wireless node (1). The computer device (5) comprises, or is connected communicatively to, a database (51) containing identities, e.g. chassis numbers, of a plurality of motor vehicles. The computer device (5) is provided with an authentication unit (52) configured to couple a manufacturing identity of a wireless node (1), e.g. a serial number, to an identity of the vehicle (3) in the database (51), and with a communication unit (53) configured to transmit the manufacturing identity of the wireless node (1) to the respective vehicle (30). The method comprises registering (105) a unique manufacturing identity, e.g. a serial number, belonging to the wireless node (1), in a database (51), which manufacturing identity of the wireless node (1) is coupled to an identity of the vehicle (3), e.g. a chassis number, in the database (51), which registration is effected by the computer device (5). The method further comprises transmitting (107) the manufacturing identity of the wireless node (1) from the computer device (5) to the vehicle (3), thereby authenticating the wireless node (1) for wireless communication with the vehicle (3). Also cited are a motor vehicle (3) and a computer programme product which comprises a computer programme for execution by the computer device.
