I've had my UEGO installed for about a month and it works perfect and is as accurate as it claims.
Never want to have to install that ***** again though.

i still can't get over the fact that the removing front license plate how-to is more popular in this section.
Cant believe people thought you were serious....

when you ran the wire in through the passenger floor and up to the steering column, how did you get it from that hole in the floor to the fuse panel? installing right now so help asap would be wonderful

i see the stock gray wire is going through the side of the center console, but i dont know where its ending up after it goes through there

any help is greatly appreciated guys. the sooner the better lol.

I just did mine few weeks ago. Remember that the wire running from O2 sensor just goes to the back of the wideband, the other wire is the one that supplies power, so you just run it from the fusebox to the wideband. But to get the O2 sensor wire from the hole in the passenger side, just run it through the console and out the other side. There is lots of room under the radio, I recommend taking those side panels off, then you will see what you are working with. What I did was loop all the extra cable and secure it in the console by the shifter, then ran the wire I need to where my wideband is mounted, just so i didn't have all this wire hanging above my feet. I am sure there are many ways to skin a cat on this install, I just did what I thought would be best for me and keeping the wiring as clean as possible. Hope this helps.

I got the Wideband bung installed in my DP and will be installing the wideband this weekend! It only cost me $30 for the installation and we put it at 9'oclock because it would cost more to do it at 3'oclock or 12'oclock.
