your car has wideband sensors stock. you just need to get a gauge to display it. look at this thread: https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/show...15&postcount=9

There's the aeroforce/dashdaq and i think even the dashhawk will read the wideband on the sstc.

I guess you could use it to see 4 parameters at a time. You could also set it up to cycle through and you can see all the parameters. For the LNF i believe it was the CN series. I know that the one for SC's will not work on our cars. I'm pretty sure it would be the same for the hhr as well. I did a how-to, let me see if I can post a link for you. Install was a piece of cake!

Dual Interceptor Install

Why limit your self to only 4 parameters when you can have upto 26 on one screen with the dashdaq? The dashdaq is so much more flexible than the interceptor gauges. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyHS4s1MZxs

I've seen them as low as $530, msrp is $550. A bit more than a dual interceptor setup, but look at all the stuff it can do and display on the screen.
Install is as easy as plugging it into the obd2 port.

Same place you would mount a gps, either at the lower left part of the windshield or anywhere else. Oh an you can also get a gps kit for the dashdaq.

No an a/f gauge wont read the stock wideband sensor, you need either get the dashdaq/dashhawk/interceptor to read the stock wideband.
Your other option would be to get a wideband kit that includes the guage/controller and wideband sensor, these normally cost around $300 or so.
