Need help installing an air/fuel ratio gauge

If anyone has installed an air/fuel ratio gauge on an 06-07 corolla, can you please help me and explain how you did it. I tried to follow the instructions the gauge came with, but the car has so many new features on it that the instruction doesn't really help much. thanks.

It won't work on an 05+ Corolla. You need a wideband sensor which is like 2-300. The cheap narrowband sensors will not work. - i've tried..heheh

I've never once seen an Air/Fuel gauge give the user back any useable data. They just serve as an unnecessary distraction while driving.

Get a bung welded into your exhaust and go ahead and spring for a Wideband, get a PDA, and some datalogging software (there's some good freeware open source stuff out there). Now you have some usable data that you can actually use to adjust your fuel curve as needed.

Anything short of that is a waste of money IMO.
