Default Question about reverse lockout

Ok so I have a mustang with a ls1/t56 swap. And now that it's running it's kinda hard to get the car in reverse,

I know that I can wire in a direct hot through a push button and ground to the reverse lockout solenoid and just use the button when I wanna put it in reverse, but I found that pin 44 on the red connector controls this, what do I need to do to make this work so the ECM controls the reverse lockout, would like to do it this way just to add to the fanciness of this build.

Unsure, I wired mine to the brake light. When does the ECM allow reverse?

One wire is key on/switched power to the reverse lockout solenoid and one wire to the PCM for ground based on vehicle speed. Stock PCM setting is about 3 mph.
