Hey I recently bought the Lowtek console pod since I don't have nav and that spot isn't doing anything else... Anyways I was wondering where can I tap power from to get some power for my gauges? I know I can't touch the PJB but I was wondering is there a way I could wire the gauges directly off the battery and put some kind of inline fuse on them? Of course my question with that is what size fuse would I use? TIA

Why not tap into the power for the radio? It's already fused and switched, and it's right where you need it!
Red wire at the radio is constant power, Yellow is switched with the ignition switch.

think it would be ok to tap 3 wires off it though?

What's the current draw for these gauges? Probbaly extremely low, so yes, you can easily tap all 3 wires into it.
