If you go on their website you can download the instructions and see for yourself it's pretty easy

I tapped mine off the brake switch. When I apply the brake it unlocks reverse.

Only problem is if you are down shifting and need to hit the brakes, it would allow you to push it into reverse

Why would you down shift to the right? Reverse is way over there and the last upper most gear to the right. I don't even think it would engage if that did happen.
