Each entry showed the start and end time, start and end location, and miles covered. After a series of trips, the Recent Trips screen filled with details about every time I drove the car.

Left plugged in, the module quietly collected data, sending it to the Delphi Web site and making it available through my phone's app. After about 5 minutes, this process was complete and I was ready to go. A series of blinking lights indicated it was establishing its wireless connection through Verizon and communicating with the car. Setting up the system required parking the car where it could get a Verizon signal, turning the engine off but leaving the car on, then plugging in the module. Going to the manual, I found the module is not quite as plug-and-play as it says on Delphi's site. It wasn't even showing the current fuel level. Checking the app, I found none of the promised data filling its Alerts, Recent Trips, or Location screens. I plugged the Vehicle Diagnostics module into the Mini's port, saw that its blue LED was lit, then went for a drive.
