Default DIY wideband o2

Theory says I can just grab a wideband o2 sensor and attatch it to a a/f ratio gauge. Is this true? Has onyone tried this? I know the RSX came with wideband o2's, is there any others you know of that did?

That makes sense, but why make a guage for narrowband? That's just retarded.

I assume this is the same thing for having a voltmeter, and a clock in a pillar pod?

Voltmeter comes in handy for us that have the our nifty dry-cell batteries; saved me as well from a failed alternator voltage regulator that hadn't thrown a light on the dash yet but was charging back to the system at 18+ volts

Geeze. Okay, well that makes sense. But for the most part I still deem them unnecessary for most applications, and this is from the guy that installs car audio for a living.
