Wideband Question
Hey guys,
I did try and search but not gonna lie, I've never installed a wideband in my life and couldn't exactly find an answer I'm looking for.
I plan on installing an AEM X series wideband (non obd ll) in my 09 base corvette when I install my long tube headers. I saw on videos they connected the red wire to the heated seats fuse on passenger side. I didn't really see much on where they connected the other wires or if it was actually needed.
Is there also a spot close by to connect the ground at the fuse box location?
My plan is to install the gauge over the HUD controls. The sensor wire will be passed though the hole behind the dead pedal and routed to the wideband sensor.
The other wires should go over the driveshaft tunnel, to the fuse box under the glovebox.
From there, do I just connect the 2 power/red cables into one of those special fuses and then find a ground or is there more I need to do?

Different setup from what your going to do, but this is where I installed my wide band wiring.
The fuse tap for the power wire attaches to the seat heater fuse.

Wouldnt happen to know if my gauge will work with just the power/ground cables (just the red and black) connected, would you?
going to be doing the long tube headers install and hopefully the wide band as well this weekend.

Sorry, I don't know anything about the gauge hook-up when using a wideband O2 sensor.
As far as your HUD, the AutoMeter 'DashControl OBD2 Controller (P/N: DL1010U) will also display all items on the HUD that it can display on the DIC, and that's about everything your system is capable of monitoring.
Here is the setup that I use on my 2011 GS:
Note: I don't have a HUD in my GS
Note: The PLX Devices SM-AFR Wideband Air / Fuel Module (Gen 4) includes a Bosch LSU 4.9 Wideband O2 Sensor

Using a splitter coming off the OBD2 connector on the car don't seem to work properly on our C6 Corvettes ...
I know folks that have tried to use a splitter so they could monitor something coming off the ODB2, and at the same time be hooked up to the OBD2 in order to use HP Tuners, but it just didn't work right when both items were hooked up together.
But, you could give it a shot

Unless your running boost for strip use, and need to watch not only boost pressures, intake heat, but AFR's as well, only time you will need to see AFR is for tuning alone.
If for road course work with boost, then system should already have it own redundancy systems you don't need to monitor in rear time, and your never to be pushing boost to the amount that you would blow the motor.
