The LM1 should have an analog output. If you go to:
www.hptuners.com/help --> Working with VCM Scanner --> Enhanced IO --> Connecting

You'll see how to connect the analog output. Then go to:

www.hptuners.com/help --> Working with VCM Scanner --> Enhanced IO --> configuration

There it explains how to setup the LM1.

Hope that helps.

Whenever I get my new camera I'll take pics of mine, used the same grommet but routed everything to the glovebox. Seeing the AFX at night is too bright and it's easy to close the glovebox. For anyone else thinking of doing this, if you tap the fuse box for power think about grabbing a relay and putting one in to shut off the O2 when you aren't driving.

i think i remember reading that the O2 can be damaged if not power up while the engine is running

It is very important that the Wide Band Commander
Sensor is powered up when the vehicle is running.
The sensor may become damaged if the vehicle is
running and the WBC is not receiving power. In the
event that you don't have power running to the sensor,
remove it and install the weld boss plug included
in the WBC kit.

this kits uses a Bosch sensor
