Guys, I'll post what I know at this point. f5fstop can probably provide more info when he can.
1) i'm not sure there is a difference between the monsoon 6 disc and the 6 disc that I have. I think they are the same radio with an amp hooked to it to make it a monsoon system. I could be wrong.
2) Yes, if you do not have XM from the factory in your H3 you will need the Terk kit for $169.
3) you can install the radio yourself. The connections are the same on the 6 disc versus the standard radio. Remove the chrome panel around the radio by inserting your fingers in the two outlets at the bottom and pullin up and out. You may have to move the shifter back and then turn the key off. Make sure you set the parking brake. Then, there are 4 bolts holding the radio in. Remove them and the radio pulls out. once the radio pulls out just unplug the two plugs and plug the new one in and screw it back to the dash. When you power the car back up the new radio might work for a few seconds before it locks. That's when you call the dealer and make an appointment to unlock the radio. My dealer charged me $50 yesterday to unlock the radio. You HAVE to take it to a dealer because it requires a special device in order to unlock it.
I hope this helps you guys out!!! Live and learn!!
