Haven't given much time for someone to step In and help you. I believe that if you run off the cars o2s it won't actually be a wideband it's a narrowband, if you really want a wideband you will have to spend the money on a wideband gauge with sensor but I'm sure someone else will step in and correct me if I'm wrong. I don't know what wire it is that you will be looking for but somewhere in here someone has a break down of what every wire is. Sorry I'm not more help

^^^

Your gauge has to be wired to a wideband sensor. You can get them from a lot of places they are about 50-60 bucks.

Also, give people a chance to answer, and always remember that the quality of answer you will recieve is directly proportionate to the quality of information you give us so we can help you. **** in = **** out

Your tuner will most likely have a wideband to use, 90% of the time they prefer to use theirs anyway even if you had one hooks up. You should be able to keep your appointment.

Agreed, all the tuners I know or have seen use their own widebands to know 100% the readings they get they can trust.
