The invention relates to a motor vehicle (1) having a communication unit (6) that has at least one radio module (8) and is set up to use the at least one radio module (8) to operate a respective radiolink (7) to at least one vehicle-external object (4) for the purpose of interchanging communication data (3), wherein the motor vehicle (1) has multiple functional programs (2) provided in it that are set up to provide a respective vehicle functionality (F1-F4) based on the communication data (3). The invention provides for multiple control units (11), which are different from the communication unit (6), to be provided, each of which has a service module (16) that is set up to interchange the communication data (3) from the respective control unit (11) with the at least one vehicle-external object (4) via the communication unit (6) and the respective radio link (7) independently of the functional programs (2), and for the functional programs (2) to be in an arrangement distributed over the control units (11) and to be set up to interchange the communication data (3) with the respective service module (16) of the control unit (11).
