Yes it can be done. I have a NAV installed in my GT1 that is supossed to be in a GTP with monsoon. I don't have Monsoon equipment. So you should be able to add 1 but you would need to add an amp and speakers. If you don't have Monsoon, you can add any GM 04-07 Grand Prix OEM HU.

i have the monsoon system in my 06 GP and you are better off with doing an upgrade with after market. i replaced my head unit with a kenwood dnx 5120 nav/dvd unit. you can get a better sound out of aftermarket. hopes this helps.

If you don't want to swap headunits you need to find an amp with high level inputs. You can prolly find a better amp than the stock monsoon one. I've hid some amps under the front seats on some vehicles.

Would be as much or more work to put in a Monsoon as to do after market. The Monsoon systems are very easily outclassed by even low end aftermarket gear. Spend your money on a good head unit and good speakers, you will be much happier in the end.
If you are really bent on a Monsoon try Morad.

Ive put it in the 04 I had just like it would have come from factory, Needed the front and back speakers, the monsoon amp, the 6 disc headunit, center dash speaker, and the full body harness, and dash harness.
To change the harness you pretty much have to strip everything out of the interior down to the metal.
As others had said you can simply use an after market amp and stuff and it would not be nearly as much work involved as what i did.
I added the monsoon along with many other things so changing the entire vehicles harness was the easiest, then i had the wiring for heads up, xm radio and everything else.

If you're dead-set on the monsoon system, I'd recommend skipping the dash speaker, since you don't have a hole for it. Morad's got a Monsoon amp in stock right now. Those are like $300 new. I realize that the monsoon setup involves no thought to pair up and you could pick up the parts used from Morad cheap, but you're better off researching a bit and going after-market. The Monsoon setup is only like a half-step better than what you have, totally not worth the labor.
