An apparatus, and an associated method, is provided which is arranged to infer a side, left or right, of a vehicle from which a device carrier enters the vehicle comprising: one or more input means arranged to receive: one or more initiation parameters associated with the device and/or the vehicle indicative of whether the device carrier starts a vehicle entry procedure; and one or more heading parameters indicative of a heading of the device; and one or more processing means arranged to determine a start time for the vehicle entry procedure in dependence on the received one or more initiation parameters and to infer the side of the vehicle from which the device carrier entered in dependence on the one or more heading parameters received corresponding to at least a part of a period, where the period is the time between the start time and an end time determined by the processing means. The heading parameters may indicate that the carrier device, such as a mobile phone, turns clockwise or anti-clockwise during a part of the period.
