Default 2005 C6, how hard to swap?

I have a 2005 C6. I have the single CD indash. How hard is it to swap in a factory headunit with 6 disc indash and factory xm module? Will my wire harness work? Is it just a simple plug and play?

The physical swap is relatively easy. The only issue is that the new GM radios are 'married' to the car's VIN, so the new radio wouldn't work until you made a trip to the dealer for them to reprogram it.

For the XM, do you have the harness above your wheel well? (link)

I didn't see that haness over the driver rear wheel.
