Default LC-1 Wideband install?

I tried the search, didnt see anything that applied specifically to this, however I know I have seen something before on this. I hear these are picky on the grounds, something about splitting the grounds? Also, has anybody had luck using this instead of the stock o2 on longtubes? How did you interface it into the wiring? I thought about cutting apart my stock o2 harness, however its not copper wire, so you cant solder it...ideas?
BTW, I forgot to add that I will also be datalogging with EFI live, and have a gauge I will be using as well, incase there is a difference.

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking, but yes they are sensitive to ground and that can throw off the signal. I searched around with a multi meter and got a perfect ground from the cig lighter, right under the traction control button. I run the signal wire into my HPTuner I/O interface.

If you are still wondering about this I have some info for you. I was running my LC-1 in place of the bank 2 NB. I used one of the 02 sensor adapter plugs available from LG and spliced the WB/NB signal wires into it.
