Post tacho gauges

i want to put a tacho guage and shift light into my AU but can't get it to work. Can anyone help me. i got a drift neo series gauge but won't read the signal.

is there a modulator to fix this problem or something

the ford dealers told me to tap into the ecu pin45 'clean tacho output'
