Just the lights around my air fuel gauge will catch my eye every now and then, i can not imagine more then one gauge like that. However the cool thing about the nexus gauges is the warning points. They are a real eye cathcer and i can see being a great benifit and option.

in the exhaust under the car you have two o2 sensors, If you wnat to use the front o2 sensor it will be the pink wire coming out of it. If you wnat to use the rear o2 sensor it will be the red and black wire coming out of it. I would use the front sensor because it is infront of the cat and in theory would be a more accurate reading

+1. Use the one before the cat, that's the wide band

from another thread (that i noticed you were in also) it was discussed that the front o2 sensor will not work due to how it sends and recieves the signal. If this is true i stand corrected and the rear o2 sensor will need to be used to get the signal from. however, a true "standalone" wideband will be the most accurate but the cost is way higher due to including another sensor.

The rear sensor is a narrow band IIRC.. You will not get any useful values out of it..

agreed... a narrowband will not give you useable readings, and the gauge will not read the front wideband signal (this is what i am reading in another thread), sounds like our cars have to have a stand alone wideband and can not run off of the stock sensors
