A vehicle system including a vehicle-to-X communication device for vehicle-to-X communication and a processing device for processing data to be sent by vehicle-to-X communication. The processing device is designed to transmit to the vehicle-to-X communication device data which are to be sent. The vehicle-to-X communication device is designed to generate an unsigned vehicle-to-X message using the transmitted data to be sent and to transmit the unsigned vehicle-to-X message to the processing device. The processing device is further designed to sign the transmitted vehicle-to-X message and to transmit the signed vehicle-to-X message to the vehicle-to-X communication device for emission. A corresponding method is also disclosed.
