I still have the gmos-01 and will try it again without hooking up the illumination wire I didn't go with the gmos-04 because it uses the front and rear RCAs for the hookups and I have a four channel amp I only got the crux because of the fact that it had a speaker built in for the warning chimes but when using the gmos-01 you can hook a separate speaker up to the front left channel and the chimes will sound through that and since I don't use the center speaker anymore I figured I would us that space to put a speaker for the chimes thanks for your help and I'll let you know how it turns out if I ever get the time to do it
