The peripheral devices are coupled to an antenna of the node. Also, the determination of the position of the device includes that of the device, a first signal strength value that is associated with a first signal of said first peripheral device, a second signal strength value that is associated with a second signal from the second peripheral device, and a third signal strength value corresponding to a is associated with the third signal, which is transmitted from the node, is received. Also, the determination of the position of the device includes that a position of the device is determined from the signal strength values ​​and a remote control function with respect to the vehicle is running.
