Wiring Innovate AFR gauge to factory wideband sensor?

[imdrax]

Was searching around and read that our front o2 sensor is wideband but I can’t find info on what gauges people are using with it and a detailed write up. Can anyone shed some light on this? I would normally just weld in a bung and wire it up and call it a day, but I’m going with a catted DP and there’s not much room pre-cat to fit another sensor.

I know this doesn't answer your question, but you can just read AFR from the OBDII. Most people seem to favor MHD these days for that.

I just got a JB4 and saw they have the ability to use fuel/oil gauge as the AFR gauge but I prefer to use a digital gauge with high vis

Get the mobile app and Bluetooth adapter. This will take care of all your monitoring and logging.

Please do research on this.

I have searched and researched this, I do not want to pay for an app that I have to have run through my phone. I want a dedicated AFR gauge mounted in a location that I prefer, and running from a signal off the factory front sensor. Your suggestions are irrelevant to my question. I cannot find any information or references to using an aftermarket gauge with the factory front sensor, so please enlighten me as to where I need to research in order to obtain this information.

It's because it doesn't work.
Every aftermarket gauge has it's own controller.
You can output the signal from that controller to the factory ecu, generally. But to share a signal, that doesn't work.

Try asking this same thing over on the E90 forum, lots of people with mostly the same car as the 1series. If that doesn't work, try the street of spool (not the exact forum name as it's blocked).
