Hi,
You can use either of the Engine or Aux pins for the sensor, it is more important that you use the matching 5V and 0V pins, if the car is already wired quite often the Aux pins haven't been populated and are easily available as well.
The signal wire from the sensor is connected to a free AV input pin.
The pin marked Ground on the sensor is connected to the 0V on the ECU. Compared to a ground pin, the 0V is shielded against fluctuations that may be caused by other devices on the vehicle ground circuit that can effect the operation of the sensor, if the sensor was directly connected to the ground.
