Volt meter wiring help

[mr calais 5.0]

I bought a pod and a couple of gauges today and I'm trying to install the volt meter gauge now.. Bit stuck, I can't get the radio out and I can't get through to the fire wall to the battery.. Is there a unused plug or something under the dash to find constant power and acc also to wire this gauge into?

should be a white plug there with constant power, accessory power and an earth.
originally used for factory phone kit.

Found the plug.. Found constant power on the orange/black wire, earth is black but it has no acc on it.. Any ideas?

is it ignition power? if not check the fuses under the steering wheel

Just checked the fuses and it does not have a fuse for it.. It's left blank with the terminals on 1 side.. Is there any other closer acc under that side?

if you pull up the center console around the shifter you could splice into the accessory wire which goes to the cig plug under the armrest.

I looked at that plug for the socket under the console too.. It has 4 wires going in and 2 coming out for the plug.. Just need to find what's the accessories wire tomorrow..

Yellow wires on both the front and rear cig lighters are + ignition switched.
As is the Brown/White wire on the accessory outlet.

Yellow wire on the phone connector plug is ignition switched.
It goes to the accessory relay via fuse number 16 (7.5 amp)
