I recently picked up the brand new NEXUS Wideband to go along with the rest of my NEXUS system.
For those that aren't familiar with this line of gauges, I recommend checking this out...http://www.autometer.com/demos/nexus/
These gauges are the easiest to install out of all of the Autometer gauges. Where other gauges wire up separately, these gauges just piggy back off of each other.
You need to buy the NEXUS Control Module to run the NEXUS series, but along with it comes a Remote Control in which you can change the colors of the gauges (think MyColor option), set individual warning levels, and you can even datalog using an SD card and the NEXUS software.
The gauges themselves all piggyback into eachother for power, and the last gauge in the chain connects to the Control Module. Then all of the sendors for the gauges plug into their respective slots in the Control Module.
Now onto the Wideband installation:
The Wideband comes complete with a replacement Bosch o2 sensor, the gauge, and the harness. It's a truly hassle free install.
Note: The new Wideband is in need of a Firmware upgrade in order to run on the current 8 Channel Controller. There is a new 12 Channel Controller that will not only have the Firmware update hardwired into it, but it will also have an ODB II plug for datalogging. (Look to DynoJoe or any other Sponsoring Vendor for details on the release)
Since the current 8 Channel Control Module doesn't have a sendor slot for the Wideband, you just plug the sendor into the back of the gauge face and piggy back the Wideband to the closest gauge.
You will want to either weld in a bung for the new o2 sensor into your midpipe/headers before the cats, or if you have an off road midpipe/headers just replace the rear o2 sensor with the supplied Bosch sensor. I used the driver's side.
The Wideband harness also comes with a power and ground wire for the Sensor Heating Element portion of the gauge. Basically, when you start the car, the Wideband counts down from 20.0 in order to heat up the sensor element and give an accurate reading.
