Ok, so I finally had time to get back into the Navigator. Here's what I found:
The park assist sensor module puts out .01 volts in park (yes .01 volts), .04 volts in reverse and .05 volts when the sensors detect an object in reverse. Effectively no voltage. (I did make sure my multimeter was set for the correct level of DC voltage when I saw those numbers)
I connected the mute wire to the reverse lamp light circuit. When the car is in park, neutral or any drive gear the volume is attenuated (muted) but when the car is in reverse and the reverse lamps are lit the volume switches to reg
