Hmmmm, don't really want to mess with the ECU for a reverse signal since a mistake there could be quite expensive.

If that reverse wire on the Radio is simply a ground signal then a simple little microswitch will work for that attached to the shifter mechanics.

I have a short shifter to install anyways so if the microswitch idea is viable then it will be time for the short shifter install as well.

"Change one thing....change everything!" rings true again.
