Hello, I know there is a bypass hack to eliminate the reverse lever on the Pioneer 500.

After looking at the 520 setup, it doesn't look the same as the 500 to me. Anyone do the reverse bypass on the Pioneer 520? Any tricks to share or info if you have done this bypass/hack? thank you.

ok thanks for the information. so you loosen the front nut (locking) and then spin the back nut to the firewall? then tighten the locking nut? does that sound about right?

I followed those same instructions on my P520 and it worked fine. If I can do it, anybody can do it. So it must be easy.

I hated that stupid reverse lever. I have no idea why its even there.
