Okay, I've read through this thread and I'm 90% sure I'm about to select what I need, but I want some clarity to make sure.

I have a 2006 GT with the 6-CD Monsoon system and the SRC button. XM is NOT activated (I can't select XM to even get Radio ID.) If I'm understanding everyone correctly, I can order this part:

And once installed, I'll have to take my car to a dealer for some type of programming to enable the XM slot, which that harness attaches to on the back of the radio, which will allow me to select XM and get output from the 3.5mm jack, correct?

I'm seeing a lot of info in this thread about harnesses, radio confusion, FM modulation, direct wiring, etc., and this kit looks like the easiest method to get some kind of Aux input, which is all I care about. So will this harness work for me?

OK, Connecting an input to the XM connector did not work but I bought the ISGM533 and just plugged it in and it works, no programming or any other BS. Let me know if anyone has any questions about it. It's highly recommended.
So you just plugged it into the XM port on the back of the radio and it just worked? ****ing sweet!

Now I just need to find a good guide for pulling my radio/dash apart. I hope it's not too painful.

Yes, but you also have to unplug the 24 pin connector and put the harness inline as well as plugging in the XM connector. I can't find the link that I used but it had pictures of every step to pull the dash panels. It was very easy. Basically to pull the center console you have to pull the side panels first. The passenger side requires removal of the glove box. You'll waste more time reading the instructions than doing it. You can find the unit anywhere for $80.
Found it for $70 on amazing when searching for the product serial number only, hah.

Got it, installed it, works perfectly. I don't have a XM module, so the cord to the XM module is just open right now. When I hit band, I still get an XM option, but then it'll move to Aux as well. There's a slight hiss on the aux-in that will be overpowered by the idling engine or EASILY by road noise, so I'm not to concerned about that. I'm just happy about CD quality audio going into my radio.

So the unit here will definitely work with absolutely no programming required on the Monsoon 6 CD changer with or without XM. Buy with confidence!
