Default Installing a Air/Fuel Ratio Gauge On a 2006 V6

Has someone by chance installed an aftermarket Air/Fuel Gauge before? I'm tring to locate the Stock Oxygen Sensor to tap into... The people who make my gauge tell me this... "Connect the green sender wire to the Oxygen Sensor. You can either tap into the oxygen directly on the
input to the ECU or connect it to the oxygen sensor. Use 16-18 Gauge wire." Which is best? Tapping into the oxygen directly on the
input to the ECU or connecting it to the oxygen sensor? I'm looking for the best/easiest way to hook it up, due to me still being new to working on the stangs. Also, does the 2006 Mustang V6 have Non-Heated Oxygen Sensors or Heated Oxygen Sensors?

Mustangs have always used heated and the gauge is nothing but a Lite show and will tell you nothing. Tap in the pin at the ECU is usually the easiest. I don't remember which pin so maybe someone will post the pin graph to help you out.

Thanks guys, and for the video too! Makes me get excited and helps me hurry up and put the gauges in , I just got my aftermarket tach installed and man o man was it fun installing that. I had to buy the tach adaptor for $80 just to get my tach lead... fun fun... I think I found out the pin on the ECU that I need to tap into... I called autometer and they were a great deal of help... I will post the info when I'm done and sure of the location. Just incase anyone else needs the info.
