wide-bands need their own sensors yes. if its a narrow band no, BUT, tapping into the existing sesnor is bad. it will affect the signal that the ECU sees/gets and the car will run poorly.
also, narrow band meters are useless...and too slow to be of any good.

sell it and get a true wideband

i suggest a PLX R500 as it matches almost perfect to the MKIV interior
