If you do not do it, short circuit WILL appen and WILL damage your M1 for sure (on mine the shutdown logis stopped to work after a bad amp wiring)".
So what's the deal

Check my plan here: find out which one is for the amp remote (since Frankino states not to plug into both) EDIT: Must be the red wire?
Cut the wire that is NOT for the amp remote and run that to 5V. This way at the Ampie plug (outside the case) I'll have one connection for the amp remote and one connection for 5V. Am I on track here or?

This is PRECISELY the same problem I had and posted about WAYYYY back when...they told me that they would update their install instructions...I guess they never did...lol
