Hope it helps mate.. But generally there should be Power, Ground and signal wires (ECU)...

its pretty easy...i did it before i sold it because iots kinda useless haha..

i conected the power to the same as my headunit power, also the ground

then for the signal u need to open your ecu....and if remember correctly its the white wire with red stripe, i cant full remember....but its easy.

depends waht car and ecu u have (obd1/obd2 etc) if you want to make sure jsut to to honda-tech and check out ecu maps and look for the o2 signal thats the one you need to hook it up to. i jsut used a wire tap and it worked fine. good luck :thumbsup:

Why open the ECU, just tap it at the O2 sensor you want to use and grab the signal there. It's easy and so far all of mine have been accurate. Just don't solder, it changes impeedances and the O2 sensor is the most picky sensor. If I recall right the signal wire is the white wire. I don't have my car here right now or my manuals so I can't confirm at the moment. I will edit this if needed.
